When USS Hornet<\/em> is mentioned, most people think about the Dolittle Raid of Tokyo in 1942 by USS Hornet.<\/p>\n

But there was an earlier USS Hornet<\/em> that was launched in 1805. Back to in the 19th century, when China lost her first opium war (Anglo-Chinese War) to Great Britain and signed the Treaty of Nanjing<\/em> (\u5357\u4eac\u6761\u7ea6\/\u4e07\u5e74\u548c\u7ea6, \u9053\u5149\u4e8c\u5341\u4e8c\u5e74\u4e03\u6708\u4e8c\u5341\u56db\u65e5) on 29 August 1842, the Brits chose the HMS Cornwallis<\/em> (1813) to be the venue. It was a part of Royal Navy fleet. Important or inconsequential, it also defeated the USS Hornet (1805) on 27 April 1815, during the War of 1812. The treaty \u00a0would become the first of many unequal treaties. Interestingly enough, in less than a decade, GB wanted to amend the hurriedly dictated the treaty on board the HMS Cornwallis\u00a0<\/em>but China refused… there came the Arrow War, the second opium war, 1856-60.<\/p>\n

Back to USS Hornet<\/em>, (1940), which was the 7th US navy ship of the name Hornet. It was well known because it carried out two famous missions, Doolittle Raid on 1942.4.18 and the Battle of Middle in June of the same year.<\/p>\n

The Doolittle Raid was to retaliate of the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.It meant to strike fear into the minds of Japanese that their capital was within reach. It was directed by Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle (1896-1993), with a PhD in aeronautics from MIT in 1925. \u00a0On 18 April 1942, sixteen Billy Mitchell B-25B Mitchell took off from the ship for their one-way bombing mission – 800 miles from their target. Afterward destroying industrial cities in Japan, the 80 volunteer raiders flew onto China (Free China) and most of them, included Jimmy Doolittle, a Lt. Colony, were saved by Chinese and missionaries. Doolittle and many his crew returned to U.S. and many went on further tours of WWII. Doolittle\u00a0became a general, 26 years after leaving the military.<\/p>\n

The missionary records kept at DePaul University shed a light on the suffering of the Chinese recently. The Japanese military mounted an attack only days after the Tokyo raid. The horrific punishment for helping the Americans was 250,000 lives lost, on par with the Nanjing massacre in 1937-8. The movie, Thirty Second Over Tokyo<\/em>\u00a0 was premiered in 1944.<\/p>\n
