Hornet ii

In Azur Lane, "Hornet II" is another aircraft carrier succeeding "Hornet", belonging to the Eagle Union faction. She debuts as a Super Rare character with the highest rating of six stars. Different from the first generation Hornet, Hornet II has different skills and combat mechanisms, with a unique combination of skills such as "Hornet's Sting", "Flying Ace", and "The Dancing Grey Ghost". These skills enable her to launch special torpedo and rocket airstrikes in battle, deal extra damage to enemy light cruisers and light carriers, while improving her own aviation and hit attributes, and have a certain survivability when taking damage. Her equipment slot configuration is flexible, and she can carry various types of aircraft, including fighters, bombers, and torpedo bombers. Although she is considered to be an early-designed ship in the game, Hornet II still has a certain degree of combat effectiveness in specific occasions and combinations. Her design references the US aircraft carriers in World War II, and incorporates modern elements in the game settings, making the character image more distinctive.
