  | I have no idea if a question is being asked, or if a statement is being made. Nevertheless it was the USS Hornet that launched the Doolittle Raid while the USS Enterprise provided cover with its scouts and fighters.

| fly boy I think you are confusing The Doolittle Raid with the Battle of the Coral Sea or the Battle of Midway. Those carriers were almost all the US had at the time and went into battle together in early 1942, sometimes with one or the other. Like Plan said, Hornet and Enterprise were on the Doolittle Raid.

| Hey TO, I thought that quote came from the Battle of Midway, not Coral Sea. Am I mistaken?

| I agree it's a great line. I also like, "I want that 4th carrier".
