Victory at Sea – USS Hornet

Victory at Sea – USS Hornet brings one of the most historically significant aircraft carriers of World War II to the tabletop, offering players a chance to command the vessel that launched the legendary Doolittle Raid. As a Yorktown-class carrier, USS Hornet played a crucial role in early Pacific operations, including the Battle of Midway, the Buin-Faisi-Tonolai Raid, and the Solomon Islands campaign.

During the intense fighting at Guadalcanal and the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, Hornet was heavily damaged by relentless Japanese air attacks. Despite desperate efforts to save her, she was ultimately abandoned and later sunk by Japanese destroyers, marking the last US fleet carrier lost to enemy action. Of the three Yorktown-class carriers, only USS Enterprise survived the war, while USS Yorktown was lost at Midway.

In Victory at Sea, USS Hornet provides US Navy fleets with a powerful carrier capable of launching decisive air strikes and supporting key operations. Whether recreating historic battles or testing alternate strategies, this iconic warship is an essential addition. Add USS Hornet to your collection, available now at Boarding School Games.
