    I guess Terry is otherwise detained.

    What is the original name of this ship?

    Okay, Earl. Go out to websites and find the pics.

    What is this ship that the crew is abandoning?

    That is the Hornet. She is the only carrier of that class to carry a "sploches" camoflauge pattern (there was not official measure for that camoflauge). Her pattern was a variation of the Measure 8 camoflauge she was initially painted in after commissioning.

    Yep, but the pic is from before he embarked on her.

    Extra credit. What types are the planes on the deck?

    Still need the name of the ship.

    No fair looking at my past posts.

    I think I remember the ship's name.

    Aircraft A20s, P-47s, B-25s and can tell what the single engine craft lining the port side of the deck are. Will have to look closer, almost look like P-40s.

    Edit---looks like a P-38 squeezed in there too.

    Edit again. Those are also A-20s I thought were B-25s at the stern.

    Bingo. CVE 70. There are more of her at bosamar.com. I have many more pics that were my dad's.

    I know of at least 2 trips she made to Australia with a load of planes, one of which was entirely P-38s. I have pics of that load. Of course she was present at the Battle off Samar, when Taffy 3 went toe-to-toe with Kurita. Kurita blinked.

    BTW, the Fanny Bee was the only flat-top, big or small, that garnered TWO Presidential Unit Citations, in addtion to another one from the president of the Phillipines. I'll post some more info on her when I get time.

    The Soviet battleship Marat. You can easily tell from the superstructure forward in details and from the boom arrangement on the main mast. Her sisters the Oktyabrskaya Revolutisya and Parizhskaya Kommuna have much heavier cranes / booms on the main mast than the Marat. Also, with such a good clear picture it is probably one of Marat at the coronation of King George VI in May 1937.

    The Marat is the ship that Hans-Uhlrich Rudel sank with his Stuka.
