Historic WWII Aircraft Carrier USS Hornet Located 17,000 Feet Deep in Pacific.



Late Billionaire Paul Allen’s Expedition Ship Makes Remarkable Discovery.

In a sensational story that seems torn from a Clive Cussler fiction novel, the private research vessel funded by late billionaire Paul Allen has located the wreckage of the historic aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8) resting on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean at a depth of over three miles.

The USS Hornet was a Yorktown class aircraft carrier built in 1939 that played a pivotal role in World War II in the Pacific. It was sunk during the Battle of Santa Cruz Islands in the Pacific on October 26, 1942. Approximately 140 U.S. servicemen were killed during a vicious Japanese air attack on the carrier that eventually resulted in its loss.
