USS Hornet Sinking

USS Hornet Sinking

Remembering Commander Richard Byron Varley II:













From the collection of Richard Byron Varley, Jr.


Richard Varley was in the water for 4 hours before he was rescued.


The news of the attack on the USS Hornet came across the radio one time and his mother heard the announcement and then there was no further information for several hours.
