USS Hornet Tour with Bruce

Post by jsturtlebuggy »

Sunday a group of Manx Club members went on a tour of the USS Hornet which is a sister ship to the USS Bunker Hill that Bruce served on during WWII. 
It was quite interesting to hear Bruce talk about his time on the ship
Thanks to Maurice Liang for putting the event together. 
I think there was 14 buggies there and around 30 people that made it.
I am sure there will be a full story in the Manx Mania
Here is a Bruce on a 5in gun telling us about the one he operated on the Bunker Hill.  Second picture was on Flight Deck with Bruce explaining about the attack and some of the other things that happen.
