USS Hornet

Recommended Posts

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.

This LDD MOC includes landing legs, a ventral loading ramp, and a dorsal hangar bay.  The yellow windows are supposed to be a subtle tribute to classic space.

Thanks for looking!

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.

Thanks! 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:

The hangar bay can accommodate two FS-42 Yellow Jacket fighters.
