The USS Hornet (CV-8) was one of three American Yorktown-class aircraft carriers commissioned into the United States Navy during World War II. It gained fame for participating in the historic Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and key Pacific battles such as the Battle of Midway. The ship took part in combat operations from 1941-1942, until it sank during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands.

The Eduard 53130 set is made from photo-etched metal, which ensures incredible accuracy in replicating even the smallest elements, such as fittings, railings, or lifeboat equipment. It is an excellent addition for both static display models and maritime dioramas. The set includes dedicated parts for the lifeboats and rescue boats of the USS Hornet CV-8, allowing you to enhance your model with realistic elements that are difficult to achieve with the basic plastic kit.
