Somebody asked that same question on the RV Petrel's Facebook page. They said that they would love to go search for the Hornet and the Wasp. But said that the Kongo was probably a no go due to it being very close to Chinese territorial waters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I don't know if there's going to be much of Hornet left to find. After the Navy dumped some 400 5" shells into the blazing hulk the Japanese had to finish it off with a spread of torpedoes. Might not be recognizable if someone should find it.

The convention was for the CO to lead the first division, in X-F-1, and the XO to lead the second division, in X-F-10. Under the operational necessity present at the time leading up to the Coral Sea battle, complying with convention obviously was less important than getting the proper equipment to the units going into battle - it wasn't "normal" circumstances. Hi Joe, I know you said that. Sorry if I came across in a way I didn’t intend to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
