Yorktown callsign CV 5 she was the lead ship of her class which included Hornet and the legendary Big E. In Coral Sea she sank the Shoho but it came at a cost the Japanese sank Lexington and Yorktown and Shokaku had to limp off the battlefield since both got bombed by each others aircraft. Yorktown made it back to Pearl but since Saratoga was in drydock and Wasp was not ready Yorktown was hastily repaired and sent to Midway. The battle was won but at a cost Yorktown was sunk and Taskforce 17 was wiped out in 1998 Bob Ballard and Vulcan found her and last year Vulcan found her foes Kaga and Akagi now the search is on to find Soryu which sank with them and Hiryu which has somehow disappeared because records were not kept.
Bring back the RTS CV!!!!!
I'll remember you. USS ENTERPRISE. You was one of best air carrier in world war ||…
Rest in peace…
I thought U.S.S Yorktown was sunk at the battle of Midway
I live near the Yorktown and have been aboard her a few times.
I have slept on the Yorktown with my Boy Scout troop twice.
Oh, I thought this was the Yorktown class CV, not the Essex
as of today, thank you, all that have served, no words can fill the thanks
thinknoodles
The Destroyer beside Yorktown is USS Laffey,the ship that refuses to die
So why don't america attack somewhere now without warning? And bomb them
I believe the United States will always exercise justice like a Puritan
USS Yorktown is probably the best museum I’ve ever been to
Enterprise's dead big sister…
if only the game looked this good
Our ship (Lexington) used to go to send members of the crew to the Yorktown to recover parts, valves, pumps. On one visit a sailor was killed when an armored hatch fell on him. One of those tragic things that happen.
AL Players, STAAAAAND UP!
7:11 “to run the turban’s.” 🤔 Turban’s, huh? Who’s side r you on anyway. Here in ‘Merica we call them Turbine’s not turbans

The fact that they got a British guy to sing the praises of a ship called the “Yorktown“ is a hell of a flex.
Hiring a British guy to sing the glories of a vessel called the “Yorktown” is the biggest flex of all time
My grandfather, Lieutenant Donald Billington, USN, helped manage the repair and turnaround of the original USS Yorktown damaged in the battle of the Coral Sea. Often overlooked is the role of project management in ship repair. With detailed reports of damage coming to Pearl Harbor prior to the Yorktown’s return, my grandfather was awake for two days before the Yorktown even came in to Pearl. He was awake for three more days as he managed his portion of the repair of the Yorktown. The story was told to my grandfather that he was sound asleep standing at a lifeline after being awake for five days and was walked back to the stateroom totally asleep – totally exhausted. The Yorktown’s aircraft helped make the Battle of Midway one of America’s most decisive military victories.
I worked on the USS Essex (LHD-2) a couple of years ago. I didn't know that there was an old Essex class of aircraft carriers back then. The name "Essex" has a lot of history behind it, incredible!
Ok this is nice to see as most focus on cv-5 as well as live in Charleston but there should be a story on laffy as well many stories such as that from Okinawa and atomic tests and serving until 1975 from what I know
know her because of Azur Lane tho
I have been on that ship
Don't forget wise old Scrappy and skipper Dixie. .
I was so confused because I thought they were talking about the Yorktown CV 5, and they kept saying Essex class. Then I realized 4 minutes in that it was CV 10 (*-*)
Yorktown was sunk at midway Essex class ship
I’m so happy I get to go to Charleston to see and go in the uss yorktown
Why does it not say it Participated in midway
Hey pls make world of warships legends have aircraft carriers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this USS Yorktown! It survived many attacks in midway and coral battle <3
"none of them where sunk by the japanese", funny… Yorktown CV-5 Might Have Something To Say Bout That…
Also, I showed up in the vid!
after more than 20 direct torpedoes… that's tough man…
I don't play the game . But enjoy the documentary.
After touring this ship on vacation and then seeing this. It's fantastic. Also, if you're into the show M*A*S*H* there is stock footage of this ship used in season 3 episode 8. I googled it for historical accuracy and it turns out the USS Yorktown was in service and deployed during the Korean War.
My home from 1965 – 1968. B Div. Proud pit snipe
Holy… I just realized, this wasn't the History Channel
