"USS HORNET (CV-8) and USS ENTERPRISE (CV-6) underway during the Doolittle Raid, in April 1942. The photo was (obviously) taken after the U.S. Army Air Forces North American B-25 Mitchell bombers had taken off from Hornet, as aircraft of her own air group are now on deck."
The photo was taken from the heavy cruiser USS SALT LAKE CITY (CA-25).

Shipgirl appreciation day: USS Hornet
Tumblr media
Hornet, or USS CV-8, is the youngest of the 4 Yorktown class carriers. She often appears very carefree and bubbly, but in truth she can often be a bit mysterious, and hard to read. Not that she's telling anyone
"information about the great Hornet is off limits!" USS Hornet
"maybe we're in sync with each other… if only Hornet and I could be like that…" USS Northampton
Hornet has quite a bit of confidence in herself, and enjoys thrills and anything that gets her adrenaline pumping. Running, sailing, jet skis, or throwing various things around
"Doolittle Style Mail delivery!" USS Hornet
"Hornet? She's going crazy on that Jetski"
USS Enterprise
However, despite her confidence, she often has a hard time either realizing or accepting that people have a romantic interest in her, reacting with surprise or defleftion
"Wait a second, Hornet? You're talking about me!"
"now which of them are you smitten by?"
Hornet later on obtained a second version of herself. Based on the Essex class CV-12 Hornet
Tumblr media
Hornet's confidence seems to have shot up into overdrive with her new look and new ability, as she's stepped out of her sister's shdow
"after all, I can't be playing second fiddle to her forever!"
Hornet as well has always had a bit of a rivalry with zuikaku. However, this seems to be a bit one sided, as Zuikaku mostly sees her as only enterprise's sister, instead of her own Person
"take this, sister of the grey ghost!" IJN Zuikaku
However, stepping out of her sister's shadow, and taking a good look at Hornet herself, will reveal a free spirited yet driven shipgirl who will always get back up if she's knocked down
