Hornet (Azur Lane)

USS Hornet (CV-8) was a Yorktown-class aircraft carrier of the United States Navy. During World War II in the Pacific Theater, she launched the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and participated in the Battle of Midway and the Buin-Faisi-Tonolai Raid. In the Solomon Islands campaign, she was involved in the capture and defense of Guadalcanal and the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands where she was irreparably damaged by enemy torpedo and dive bombers. Faced with an approaching Japanese surface force, Hornet was abandoned and later torpedoed and sunk by approaching Japanese destroyers. Hornet was in service for a year and six days and was the last US fleet carrier ever sunk by enemy fire. For these actions, she was awarded four service stars, a citation for the Doolittle Raid in 1942, and her Torpedo Squadron 8 received a Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism for the Battle of Midway. Her wreck was located in late January 2019 near the Solomon Islands.
==Character== 
===Design===
*2 B-25 Mitchells adorn her deck, 1 in flight, as several carried out what became known as the Doolittle Raid, the first strike ever against homeland Japan by the Americans.
*Hornet wears a cape bearing her designation - CV-8.
*Her color scheme is in line with her name, Hornet.
===Lines===
*Self-introduction - Northampton attempted to save Hornet at the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands by towing her out of the action, but ultimately failed in doing so in the end.
*Mail - She references the Doolittle Raid which took place aboard her deck, and the "delivery" would be the payload the Mitchell's carried.
*Defeat - After Hornet sank, a new Hornet (CV-12) was named in honor of her. 
===Skills=== 
*Both her skills "Doolittle Raid," and "Raid Carrier," reference, of course, the Doolittle Raid, and her being the first fleet carrier to launch heavy land based bombers from her deck.
