  All these years and they were able to show a 95 year old veteran the gun he was manning during the battle. That's something.

  It's customary to retrieve a sunken ship's bell if possible.
  That's the only thing that should be taken from that great ship.
  
  Then it's struck 8 times, 8 bells- End of Watch.
  
  Rest In Peace, to the greatest generation this nation has ever seen.

  I guess it is so deep that it's preserved it quite well. Amazing pics.

  My father served aboard the Hornet during Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, the Battle of Midway, Buin-Faisi-Tonolai Raid and the Solomon Islands campaign.
  Unless asked directly, he never liked to speak of the things he witnessed or endured.
