Another ship. I posted a model (not mine) because it is one of the best images and shows color:

Name her, what is she most famous for, and what was her fate? Bonus: Name the type of camoflaudge she is wearing.


I think that's the USS Hornet. She is most famous for launching the Doolittle Raid. She was sunk at the Battle of Santa Cruz.

That's a Yorktown-class, for sure, so it's either Yorktown (CV-5), Enterprise (CV-6) or Hornet (CV-8) - not sure from the model how we're supposed to tell without the number or something like ungainly B-25s on the deck.
