Tamiya 77510 - 1/700 Scale U.S. Aircraft Carrier Hornet Kit for Detailed Display  [77510]

U.S. Aircraft Carrier Hornet - Service and Design Overview

The U.S. Aircraft Carrier Hornet earned a notable place in naval history as the eighth carrier of the U.S. Navy and the third Yorktown-class ship produced under treaty limits. Built with strong anti-torpedo protection, the Hornet carried a relatively modest anti-aircraft fit of eight single-barrel 5-inch guns. Driven by steam turbines delivering about 120,000 horsepower, she could make speeds up to 34 knots.
