Bio #3: U.S.S. Hornet (CV-12)

Start from the beginning
                                    

She will be soon recommissioned when the Battle of RIMPAC 2012 happened where she alongside her sisters and comrades fought against an Alien Armada Fleet from a distant planet. She was taken extensive repairs after the battle.

In 2023, to honor both her valiant service in the Battle of RIMPAC 2012 and the popularity of a certain Chinese mobile gacha game, a fan convention was held on the carrier. On March 18, 2023, U.S.S. Hornet (CV-12) hosted CarrierCona fan convention for anime, video game, comic and cosplay fans. In 2023, CarrierCon collaborated officially with Azur Lane.

Azur Lane is a popular Chinese mobile game with an English release that features anthropomorphic "shipgirls" including Hornet herself as Hornet II to distinguish her from the original Hornet. Later that year, Hornet was chosen to host Azur Lane's live event celebrating the 5th anniversary of its English/worldwide release.

Unfortunately, she sunk on Bikini Atoll on July 7, 2054 along with the rest of the warships that are museum ships. Operation CrossXs was the end for the World War 2 Pacific Naval Fleet that fought against a more advanced alien fleet back in 2012.
