Tamiya 77510 - 1/700 U.S. Aircraft Carrier Hornet  [77510]

Towards U.S. Aircraft Carrier Hornet

The Hornet was the eigth aircraft provider for the U.S. Navy and the 3rd one for the Yorktown type constructed under the limits of this naval treaty. The Hornet had exceptional equipment and anti-torpedo protection, but her anti-aircraft armament consisting of eight 5-inch (12.7mm) single-barrelled A.A. weapons (38 calibres long) ended up being rather poor. She ended up being powered by turbine engine providing 120,000hp making a rate of 34 knots.
