The Hornet Bay Anthem: our own march on endless loop, a burner-lit bow shot, and the go-fast shoots back ac81351

Nose-on to a Hornet climbing off the catapult in full afterburner at night, the Enterprise island lit up below — the reworked opening scene of the attract reel

The bay flies its own colours now, bow to stern:

  1. Our own anthem. The borrowed Star-Spangled chiptune is struck. In its place: the Hornet Bay Anthem — an original sixteen-bar march written for the bay, square-wave lead over a root-and-fifth bass, looped forever with zero silence at the seam — the final note releases exactly as the downbeat of the next lap attacks. Same player, top-right: play, pause, stop.
  2. The cat shot, restaged. Night on the waist cat: it opens astern of the Hornet, burner lit, and the camera swings a wide right-hand orbit around the launch until it’s dead on the nose — looking straight back down his pipe with the Enterprise island glowing in the background.
  3. The go-fast shoots back. The gun-run scene cuts to a chase view from astern of the charging boat — and she’s not running silent anymore: a mounted machine gun hammers back at the Seahawk, tracer rising past the lens while the helo’s own bursts walk down the other way.
  4. Shipboard launches whoosh. When the Klakring lets an SM-1 or a Harpoon off the rail you hear it leave — the same whoosh the VLS and the shoulder-launched shots always had.
  5. The Hog gets the right voice. The A-10’s twin TF34s are turbofans, and now they sound like it — the Hawg scene and any A-10 you spectate in-game sing the high turbofan whine instead of the fighter howl.

One click wakes the sound, as ever — then the march plays the bay in, and it never bumps at the loop.
