The Tractor That Sank: It's 17,500 Feet Down on the USS Hornet Wreck This image captures a moment in time: a brand-new 1941 International Harvester A-14 tractor chained to the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8).

The Hornet, famous for launching the Doolittle Raid, was sunk in October 1942 during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands
