Summary[edit]

Description
English: Parade on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5), 10 April 1942, during the "Yorktown Jamboree". Following the ship's band, Marines with M-1 (Garand) rifles and fixed bayonets guard the Big T-Bone Steak ... the only one in captivity that was one feature of this celebration. At the extreme right is the tail of a Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat fighter (BuNo 3999) that had been transferred to Fighting Squadron 42 (VF-42) from VF-2 in March 1942. It was lost during the Battle of the Coral Sea three weeks later. Note the Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless aircraft of Bombing Squadron 5 (VB-5) parked in the background and the volleyball net in the upper center.
