Soon, the Hornet was involved in air strikes against Tokyo, served as the Doolittle B-25B bomber takeoff platform at sea, but she missed the Battle of the Coral Sea in May. June, the Hornet participated in the Battle of Midway, but due to a series of unfortunate and poor performances. Followed by the USS Hornet during the Battle of Guadalcanal for the Marine Corps to provide air cover, and thereafter, during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands sunk by the Japanese navy.
