Summary[edit]

Description The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10) in 1943. Note that the forward hull number on the flight deck is turned around, so that it was readable for aircraft approaching from the bow. 15 Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat fighers of fighting squadron VF-5 are visible on deck. Note the extended hangar catapult on the starboard side forward of the gun turrets.
