US Hornet Research Paper

U.S.S Hornet As I approach the Alameda Point shores, I see a large aircraft carrier overlooking the Alameda Bay. The chassis of the large ship painted grey, bristling with anti-aircraft turrets. The air was very salty, hinted with fresh breeze rolling in from the bay. The constant sound of swishing and large splashing as the ocean lapped at the large ship. This technology has long since been surpassed by autonomous, unmanned versions of these turrets. The ship has a long history of wartime records. It served in WWII, demolishing over 50 ships, including a Japanese aircraft carrier and an assist in the destruction of the super battleship Yamato, as well as downing more than 1,000 planes. This ship has been a huge hand in the war, but it also
Technology has evolved since, leading to rotating rotors, vertical take-off engines, stabilizers, and high-powered jet propulsors. Ships that are in the process of being mass manufactured are able to split up into multiple ships and self-repairing planes (Tucker). Compared to the technology found on the U.S.S Hornet, they might as well have been throwing stones at the new planes. This is a perfect example of how much military technology has evolved. We have come from basic aviation, planes made of wood, an exposed engine, and a canvas to metal jets that can transform into three separate drones that can act
I know that utilizing current military technology will be what will save the United States. People often talk about an upcoming WWIII. This is something that we should consider. Instead of trying to negotiate peace, we should be preparing for war. Many people across the United States believe we should no longer go to war, and instead research other things. However, the military is what keeps the United States the way it is. Without it, we would have all been dead a very long time ago, possibly part of another country, and no longer a world superpower. Instead, we would be a bug under the boot of progress. The U.S.S Hornet stands as a permanent memorial not only to military power and stability, but also to military presence in our lives and what it does to our country. Military technology got us to where we are today, and it will keep us moving further than where we are
