Pdaitabird Posted June 23, 2018 The flagship of the US Space Force, the USS Hornet patrols the trans-lunar region and provides protection for commercial mining activities on the moon. While she is primarily a battle cruiser for ship-to-ship combat, the Hornet can also serve as an orbital weapons platform, making her a powerful deterrent to hostile actors on the ground.

The yellow windows are supposed to be a subtle tribute to classic space. Thanks for looking! Soli Deo Gloria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ninja_Bait Posted June 23, 2018 I like the design, it's a nice dreadnought shape. More detail pictures please! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Wolfe Posted June 23, 2018 The USS Hornet was an actual battleship that was converted into a museum in the town where I grew up! Completely off topic but that's why I checked this out. It's wonderfully shaped and I love the parts usage to make it look finished and sleek from all angles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have read about the real USS Hornet's exploits at the battle of Midway and named my ship after her. Here is a shot of the Hornet with landing legs extended and hangar door open: USS_Hornet_4 by the chestertonian, on Flickr The hangar bay can accommodate two FS-42 Yellow Jacket fighters.
