The Hornet is Sunk!
(Finally!!)
This may take a bit of time to load, but the photos are worth it.
Taken by Richard Simpson.
The story goes something like this.......
After long and hard-fought convoy runs over 19 battle days, the hornet finally is sunk.
Taking a hit to her valuable cargo, it explodes....
Damage is done to the valiant ship, and she slowly settles in the water.
The Richelieu keeps a close eye on this slippery ship,
As she gets lower in the water, until..
She finally goes under.
