The USS Yorktown (CV-5) earned a notable place in naval history as an early U.S. fleet carrier. Launched in September 1937, she served as flagship of Task Force 17 and was heavily involved in key Pacific battles, including the Coral Sea and Midway. Though she was critically damaged and later lost, Yorktown's wartime role remains significant for collectors and historians alike.
