Pictures
There are a lot of pictures of Hornet in the Commons category: commons:Category:USS Hornet (CV-12). If you want pics, check there first. If you upload new pics, add them there. I recently added some of the space exhibit. — Johan the Ghost seance 14:45, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Movie Location
So I was just on Hornet (again... did the flashlight tour, very cool) and one of the volunteers was talking about how the ship was used for filming xXx: State of the Union. Apparently Ice Cube was aboard for some time; seems like the hangar and flight decks were used, including a spectacular dive off the flight deck (by an ex navy Seal stuntman). They even had tanks aboard. So... does anyone know where we can find a source of info that can be referenced for this? I found something, but it ain't great... — Johan the Ghost seance 01:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I did do a tour aboard the Hornet and the guide mentioned that a lot of the painted lines on the flight deck were not a part of the original paint scheme of the Hornet at any time during its Navy service. Instead, they were painted that way for the movie stealth--Daishi808 (talk) 18:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe he/she confused the movie title? The Stealth page says it was shot on USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Carl Vinson.  XxX was definitely on Hornet, and you'd have thought they would mentioned it if they'd had 2 movies aboard.  — Johan the Ghost seance 14:55, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The Hornet museum now has a page on this. I expanded the section. johantheghost (talk) 16:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * the mention of 'phantom-themed shows' requires explanation. ghosts? mcdonnell-douglas f-4 phantoms? what?Toyokuni3 (talk) 14:48, 27 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Fixed by WL'ing "phantom". Normal usage for the aircraft is to use proper-noun, so the common-noun usage for these phantoms is another clue.--S. Rich (talk) 15:01, 27 December 2011 (UTC)


 * i should have seen that the common noun use indicated the former. nonetheless, i think the clarification was worthwhile. thanks.Toyokuni3 (talk) 23:45, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

1945 Roster of Officers for USS Hornet CV-12
According to Wikipedia guidelines under External Links and specifically What Should Be Linked: ''3. Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons.''

A link to an external document showing the 1945 Roster of Officers for the USS Hornet CV-12 was added in the External Links section of the article. That document contains neutral material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to amount of detail.

MBK004 deleted the link to the roster of officers. According to MBK004, the link does "not comply with our guidelines for external links" and was removed.

I believe MBK004 is in error on the deletion per the guidelines quoted above, and I believe the link to the 1945 roster of officers should be restored.

CV-12 Recommissioning
According to other online sources I have read on this USS Hornet, she was recommissioned in a formal ceremony on 17 October, 1998 where she was commissioned formally as a museum ship. YouTube as a video of CV-12's recommissioning ceremony. 68.236.155.234 (talk) 02:40, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Date error considering JAG
I was reading the article on CV-12 while watching the episode of "JAG" that was filmed on her. The Wikipedia article credited the episode as being filmed in 1999, whereas it was actually done in 1997. The particular episode is titled "Ghost Ship," Season3, Episode 1, first aired on September 23, 1997. Please see the following link for verification:

It is the Hornet.
Somehow, someone has managed to comment (without signing, or adding a headline. How does that work, anyway?) that the overhead shot of the Hornet is actually a "supercarrier", appearently of the Nimitz Class. This person needs to take a closer look. See the number 12 on the flight deck? That is the Hornet's number. She was updated with an angular flight deck during a modernization overhaul in the 1950s, with the advent of jet aircraft. Also, the Nimitz Class are designated as CVN-68 through CVN-77. Not a 12 among them.Helensguy1 (talk) 04:20, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Possible Participation Inaccuracy
Respectfully, the article suggests Hornet support in the Battle off Samar Island. It may be that Hornet's planes attacked the center fleet at some previous or future date as that fleet was leaving, but not during the battle itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:442:4480:4D40:98E5:72C0:1B59:CBB3 (talk) 14:14, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

The Typhoon
So I went to the USS Hornet and learned a lot about it. In that experience, I learned that sometime after the typhoon there was a Japanese submarine squad sent to destroy the Hornet. The only reason that it survived was because of the crushed bow. This encouraged the submarine squad to think it was one of there own. I just wondered if you would like to include this in the article. --Random Person117 (talk) 04:30, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * That's not be substantiated in any of the histories of the ship that I've read.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:04, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Damage to the Flight Deck
My father was assigned to the flight deck of the USS Hornet when a plane landed on the deck with a bomb that was not released rolled out of the bomb bay. The bomb exploded he and two men were blown into the second deck. One man died. One man lost his legs and father received a concussion. Because of the hole in the flight deck planes had to land in the water next to the aircraft carrier and pilots did not survive.

During the typhoon, the men were ordered below to their bunks. They took turns looking out a porthole and saw the flight deck pulled back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.125.80.224 (talk) 05:26, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Namesake
Found some sources that state this Hornet was named in honor of Hornet (CV-8);, , ,. Though you changed the infobox, in the "Construction and career" section it states; There is another ref in that quote, though it's a book and I don't have ready access to it to evaluate it further.

 * Yes, as with Lexington and Yorktown, that explains why the name was chosen but not what the name means, for which see DANFS (which doesn't even mention CV-8). I believe that this approach is consistent with the template guidance: If the ship's name originates from a particular person, location, event, or object, it may be added here. (my emphasis). Of course, the context belongs in the article proper. Davidships (talk) 03:08, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
