Hello; On the Japanese Battleship, Yamato, it was sunk by the USS Hornet CVS-12 and it's aircraft. This ship is also the same ship that picked up Apollo 11 & 12. On it's keel is still emblazoned the name Kearsarge, this ship was the eighth ship to be named Hornet. The Seventh Hornet CV-8, is the one that Lt. Jimmy Dolittle and his men left from with a flight of land based B-25 bombers to make the all important raid on Tokyo, Japan.

I hope this information helps. I was stationed on the Hornet during the Vietnam era.
