OT: USS Hornet (CV-12) Photo Gallery

Post by Sarconix »

Hey folks,

Here's an interesting photo gallery of the USS Hornet (CV-12) from Wired, in the context of the Apollo 11 anniversary. The Hornet was the ship that picked up the returning Apollo 11 astronauts 40 years ago.

Great for space fanboys and naval hardware fanboys! [:)]

Nice quote at the end: “The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.”
