One of the U.S. Navy's industrial incentive films, the Life and Death of the USS Hornet traces the valiant career of CV-8. Footage includes the launching of the Doolittle Raider B-25s on their mission to strike Tokyo in 1942, including White House reaction by President Roosevelt that the planes came from "Shangri-La." Also on this film, is footage of the ill-fated Torpedo 8 Squadron which was sacrificed at the Battle of Midway. The carrier USS Hornet was sunk during the Battle of Santa Cruz, and the film ends with the launch of a "new" Hornet CV-12.

  • I would not describe the members of torpedo squadron 8 is "ill-fated". They deliberately sacrificed their lives that we might be free. So did many others, but their sacrifice turned the tide of the war in the pacific. We can never repay them, but let us never forget them.
