Product Description

CV-10 was an Essex class ship started with the name Bon Homme Richard, but was renamed Yorktown before building was completed to honor CV-5 lost a few months before at the Battle of Midway. Commissioned 13, April 1943, the carrier Yorktown was 890 feet long and 196 feet wide. CV-10, designed to carry 90 planes into battle. The Yorktown saw her first action in World War two by attacking the Japanese base on Marcos Island in the Pacific. She was the first of the brand new Essex class to see combat. The ship and her crew stared in the 1944 war documentary 'The Fighting Lady', which became the ship's knick-name, and won an Academy Award. The ship was evolved in many of the major Pacific battles from 1943 thru 1945 when the war ended. Yorktown's planes inflicted heavy losses on the enemy at Truk Islands and in the Marianas; the carrier supported American troops in the Philippines, at Iwo Jima, and at Okinawa. Yorktown received 11 battle stars for her World War II service and was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. In 1953, She was reclassified as an Attack Carrier, CVA-10. In 1955, the ship was again reclassified, but this time as an anti-submarine carrier, CVS-10. From 1965 to 1966, the USS Yorktown was again in combat into the Gulf of Tonkin off the coast of Vietnam. In 1969, the Yorktown returned home for the last time. She was decommissioned that year. However, in 1970, the ship was towed to Charleston South Carolina and became the first ship that was part of the Patriot's Point Naval and Maritime Museum.
