USS Hornet

[Den N Ms]

Just saw on the news the carrier USS Hornet has been found sunken in the Pacific Ocean after 76 years.They had a very good clear photo of a International Harvester Aircraft Tug setting on the deck that looked like it had just been parked there last month. Wish I could have captured the photo of it.

Saw it last evening as well on the CBS national news and looks like the Hebard Shopmule that my cousin has. I believe they used a Farmall A for the engine and forward hood sheet metal but don't know about the rest of the drive train. I recognized it real quickly being a Shopmule as well, Hal.

Its been almost 77 years and I think its still running!

"For Sale, 1 owner, Stored inside, running when last used. "

But seriously, was impressed to see coverage on news. Frozen in time.
RIP USS Hornet

It will probably be on E-Bay soon with "Local Pickup."

Sometimes the humor on this site amazes me - thanks for post, Hal.
