A tale of 2 aircraft carriers Part II: The tragic loss of ships and men
In World War II, aircraft carriers were the key elements to helping the Allies get control of a war they had been losing. Two key carriers were the Wasp and the Hornet, which carried on board two old college roommates. In the last of a 2-part series, we look at the fates of all.
