Hornet, Yorktown and Enterprise turned the course of WWII in the Pacific at the Battle of Midway, sinking four Japanese carriers in exchange for just one. The Japanese lost the initiative as a result of that battle, and the Allies held it the rest of the way.
Hornet was also the ship that launched the Doolittle raid.
Between the two, she is one of the most famous ships in US Navy history, and it's awesome that we've found her.
