ТЯЖЕЛЫЙ АВИАНОСЕЦ «ХОРНЕТ», США, 1940 г. |
"Hornet" just before launch at Newport News Shipbuilding Co., December 14, 1940. National Archives photo. |
USS "Hornet" just after commissioning, 20 October 1941. She was painted in Measure 12 camouflage. Armament and radar had yet to be fitted. Mk.37 directors on the island differentiated her from her older sisters Yorktown and Enterprise, fitted with Mk.33 directors. (Thanks to Robert Hirst, who provided additional info). |
As completed, 27 October 1941. Image # 80-G-463613. |
Photographed circa late 1941, soon after completion, probably at a U.S. east coast port. A ferry boat and "Eagle Boat" (PE) are in the background.
|
While at Norfolk, in February, she had been camouflaged to Measure 12 with splotches; colors were Navy Blue, Ocean Gray and Haze Gray. By this time Mk.4 radar had been added to the Mk.37 directors. |
|
At North Island, San Diego, March 27th, 1942 just before leaving for San Francisco. |
April 1942, as she appeared in the Pacific. |
