    I think we can take some solace in the fact that they haven't tried to reboot Red Dwarf yet.

    Not only that, it is fairly cold that deep. Oxidation significantly slows in cold water.

    I'm confused. The USS Hornet (CV-12) recovered the Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969. The one that was found in CV-8. I didn't know the same name could be used for more than one ship.

    USS Hornet (CV/CVA/CVS-12) is an Essex-class aircraft carrier built for the United States Navy during World War II. She was originally named USS Kearsarge, but was renamed in honor of the prior USS Hornet (CV-8), which was lost in October 1942, becoming the eighth ship to bear the name in the Navy
