WWII USS Hornet aircraft carrier found on ocean floor - video and photos

I used to drive by the Hornet when it was stored in Bremerton, WA with some frequency. When I saw this thread I thought wait! It's not at the bottom of the sea, it's in Bremerton...
Hard to believe it's been in Alameda for almost 30 years!

Being in Bremerton only SEEMS like the bottom of the sea. Good thing they installed Puget Sound where it is; to drain all the rain. I was stationed in Bremerton in the 70's aboard CVAN-65 Enterprise during re-fit. As a SoCal guy, I assigned the region a title I remember to this day, "World's Biggest Car Wash".
But I enjoyed every minute, every square mile, every inch of roadway, every diner, every little town, and the distinct female population.
No, I didn't get to enjoy every one of those...
I had to come to Missouri for an affordable $-per-square-foot building. Western Washington very next in preference, especially Raymond, Chehalis and Grays Harbor College WA.
