All Aboard the USS Hornet, The Most Haunted Ship In America | Localish

[@johnrettig1880]

To clarify one thing this is the USS Hornet number two Original USS Hornet was the sister ship to the USS Yorktown and the USS Enterprise they were all of the same class The USS Hornet was sunk sometime after the battle at Midway where is the USS Yorktown was the first aircraft carrier of the three sisters to be sunk during the battle

[@johnrettig1880]

@Barrett Gibbins That's the point that I'm making After the war the USS Enterprise was cut up for scrap . But their was a group of people who were trying to get a petition to Congress to save the USS Enterprise

[@johnrettig1880]

@Barrett Gibbins Why are you repeating my statement . I'm sorry if it wasn't clear enough . Did you bother to read the above statement that the Enterprise was scrapped

[@hotrodblonde]

Actually, John, if you want to get technical, the US Navy had a total of eight USS Hornets.

[@Deetroiter]

I was never aware that it was considered haunted until I recently saw something about it in a show. I've been fortunate enough to experience many naval ship tours but I can say for sure that the Hornet had a different feeling about it. Can't really put it exactly into words but closest thing I can think of is it felt dark and cold. That's not to say it felt unwelcoming or a place I wouldn't want to be, it just had a certain distinct feel. If anyone gets the chance to visit the ship, I highly encourage them to do so!

[@hotrodblonde]

I worked and volunteered on board for several years. I had my ponytail tugged like someone was teasing me, heavy doors shut for no reason etc. Lately, I’ve been having weird dreams about the “ghost boys” on the ship like they want me to come back to visit. Hmm.

[@RiflemanLEONE]

We were visiting in 2015, not knowing anything about stuff going on. We went into a engine room shop of some kind towards front of the boat. We were the only ones there. Heard a loud bang like someone hitting on a metal door in the shop. Went to the room and saw nothing. My brother happened snap a photo of us staring into the room. Can’t explain it.

[@thatfunkyduck]

I grew up on this island, I remember they used to let kids spend the night on the hornet and freak them out. My parents always told me the weird phenomena that the kids would see was just the crew pulling tricks on them haha

[@abiding_ihsan]

My Dad served on this ship (ECM) from '64-'69. He never saw any ghosts but he swears he saw something lift off from the flight deck that he could not explain, which ascended straight up (vertical) without any noise. Weird things happen at sea LOL.

[@tbm3fan913]

Funny I have been on the ship wandering around at 1:00 am before going to sleep in the Island and other times after working I am the last one off the ship sometimes at 8:00 pm. Never heard a thing but you may have heard me somewhere as sound in the ship carries a very long way. Very few actual deaths on the ship during her service.

[@emmabingham8545]

@Lew Wheelz yeah arsehole! Just a simple mistake! Stop fucking criticizing him just for one bad grammar!

[@autiovaa5255]

@Lew Wheelz Your grammar could use some work as well. Here's how you say what you just tried to say, but using proper English. *You're illiterate. The word, "There", is used when you are refering to a location. The word, "Their" is plural for the word, "They're". Please take some classes to improve your grammar. Having poor grammar lowers your intelligence.* The fact that you just tried to correct some random kid's grammar on a KZbin comment while insulting them, while using improper grammar, then being wrong on your correction is hilarious. "Their", means the person in question possesses something, Ex; "It is their ". "They're" means, "They are", Ex; "They're playing outside". In case Lew Wheelez deletes his comment or edits it, here is what they originally said, "You are illiterate, "there" for a location "their" plural for "they're" please take some classes to improve your grammar it actually lowers your intelligence." Please take an English class, it should help you to avoid incidents like this in the future.

[@drguffey]

I saw an apparition on the Hornet once. It wasn't a shadow. It looked like a real person in a sailor outfit. About 50' away. When I got to that door it was just a small room, one or two people could stand side by side. No doors, just a small room. No one was there.

[@connormacleod9900]

Back in 2002 I saw some Navy personnel aboard the USS Hornet these Sailors are not retired at the time they were still in the Navy

[@eddiedemartini9961]

I joined the Grey Ghost Division sea cadets on the Hornet in December 2018 and the only thing I experienced was waking up by someone shaking me, but my old CO said he saw and heard a bunch of feet shuffling in the chow hall when there was no one there. it's not as bad when you are with other people but the ship feels empty and kinda freaks you out. My dad drilled there because he was in he Navy reserves(2000-2008).

I was at that base before it was closed down I actually eat at the Navy mess hall. N.A.S ALAMEDA that was a Home Port for the USS Enterprise they had 2 mess Hall's on that bass 1 mess hall was for the USS Enterprise crew and the main mess hall was for the entire base I miss having Navy Chow

[@stanbarnes2472]

I slept on board a couple times as a boy scout parent chaperone. One of the times, we did a ghost tour in what I recall was the ammo room or anchor room in the front or back of the ship. During the Hornet's service there was an explosion in this room and many sailors died. Departing after the ghost tour, I walked adjacent to a corridor with glass separating the two corridors. As I walked by, I looked into the other corridor and I saw a man dressed in a WW2 uniform standing and looking at me. I stopped and starred. The sailor was maybe 2-3 feet from me, but separated by glass. He didn't smile or react to me during the 10 - 15 seconds I stared at him. As others approached I looked to them and pointed to the sailor and looked back. He was gone. Coulda been someone dressed up and joking around or.

[@metalmike45]

I remember when the U.S.S. HORNET was in Bremerton Washington. It was decommissioned at the time. It was emptied out but the steel kitchenware was still in it. The shipyard workers were going to work on it until they heard lots of what sounded like metal objects were being thrown. So they put cameras in the kitchen. Soon afterwards the noise started again & on the video there was pots, pans & all of the big silverware being thrown everywhere including knives! After that? The workers totally emptied the whole galley!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ScoobieSwisher7413]

Are you still laughing?

[@shaofuchang515]

there are places I've been where I inadvertently stepped into that the hair on my neck just stood on their end. I don't know the thrill people have at going to haunted places. Spirits can reflect through me malice or sadness without ever touching me... and while I've never visited the Hornet I don't know if I'll ever want to. Just visiting USS Arizona was chaotic enough. I was first choking on what was probably spit and then I was crying, usually when I get emotion its the other way around

[@imScyllar]

i knocked on the sidewinder room door and after about 3 seconds or me and my mom both heard a knock back never been back on the boat since

[@Grahf0]

So this must be the aircraft carrier that had some twenty feet of its flight deck bent downwards during a Typhoon. A typhoon that Admiral Halsey ordered the ship (and others) to sail straight into the eye of. A mistake that Admiral Halsey had made once before, just six months prior, to the loss of almost 800 sailors. I now know part of what Captain Ramius was talking about, when Jack Ryan said he wrote books for the CIA in Hunt for the Red October. One of them being about Admiral Halsey. "Oh, I know this book. Your conclusions were all wrong, Ryan. Halsey acted stupidly."

Someone just answered your question yet you reply back with ignorance. You should know that removing this piece of history would be a stupid idea considering how much restoration its been through. Also nobody is shoving the service history of this ship down your throat so why are you complaining about it when no one is forcing you.
