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.

[@slick1ru2]

My grandfather, John Claudis Stockstill, joined the Navy at age 56, after the attack on Pearl Harbor. His expertise in marine construction led him to be a chief petty officer in the Seabees, rebuilding the docks at Pearl Harbor. My father would later join him and attend the university of Hawaii. Two of my cousins, because of his service became naval aviators, one attended Annapolis, the other’s last assignment was XO at Pensacola naval air station.

Man World War II was crazy. It was the pinnacle of modern Military power. No satellites No nuclear fire power. It was the time when naval, ground and air combat was at the highest strength. Every country pulled no stops and created amazing machines of war that were beautifully horrible. We will never see another war like this it all about Nukes and words now. Is that a bad thing well that's a matter of opinion.

Of the 4 museum ships I've been to (Massachusetts, Intrepid, Yorktown, and North Carolina) Yorktown was by far the most impressive (to my recollection, as it's been a long time since I saw Intrepid). That thing was big enough that you could spend a whole day and then some exploring it alone, then there's the other ships and exhibits too. North Carolina had a certain artistically inspiring quality to her, and Massachusetts is the closest I could call a warship to home away from home for amount of time I've been visiting her. But Yorktown was like a floating city, and not in the sense that one speaks about battleships, I mean a whole new level of immense. I was in pain for 2 days after visiting her and probably walked the length of Manhattan total.

[@wesleypeters4112]

The explanation of the carrier, armament, armor, planes and propulsion was exquisite.

[@whidbeyhiker4364]

True story, one summer in the yards me and a guy named BTFN Humphrey crawled through and swept out the stacks from #2 Fireroom, number three boiler on the USS Lexington. I spent 5 years on that ship working in both forward firerooms. Over the five years, I managed to explore most areas of the ship including the magazines that were located under the forward elevator, most of the island structure, all of the engineering spaces and shaft alleys. Truly amazing time of my life. Those 8 boilers, learning to operate them has given me one hell of a career.

[@apanshumanbehera7161]

Brave Yorktown! You did all that was asked of you and more!

[@KarmaSparks]

I’ve lived next to this ship my whole life and visited it countless times. Little fun fact I know about it. It was somewhat of a ghost ship to the Japanese. The original CV-5 was hit with a huge hole in the flight deck and was thought to be sunk. The ship was fixed in only a few days, which was a huge accomplishment. It was present and sank at the battle of midway confusing many Japanese sailors. One of the CV-10 Yorktown’s first assignments was to sail over the wreck of the original CV-5. It was spotted by Japanese scouts and imagine seeing the ship you supposedly sank twice right above its resting spot.

[@nursestoyland]

@O.P.W yeah that bomb hole u mentioned was at the lesser known Battle of The Coral Sea, where the USS Lexington was sunk, and was the first combat operation for aircraft carriers.

[@raybin6873]

While touring the Yorktown at Patriot's Point I saw a poster on a bulletin board about the Liberty ship John Brown informing of cruises it was having. I followed up and bought a ticket ($125)...I tried to get my father to go along because he served in Navy WW2 but he said was too old. Riding the John Brown out to sea was the best thing I've ever done! They had reenactors on board...including "Abbott & Costello" (did "Who's On First" skit)...mock attacks by WW2 airplanes...and an orchestra playing period music. Got to see the steam engine running too! Was worth every penny...wanna do it again! 🇺🇸😃👍

I've gone to see this monster in Charleston. It's just a shame how you can't freely roam to explore everything you'd like to on the ship. Some places are blocked for only certain tour groups. I didn't have much time to explore the topside either, but it's a marvelous work of engineering, and a helping force in our Pacific campaign.

[@johngreen1776]

My Dad served on the USS Yorktown CV10 during World War II. He was an Ordinance Engineer in charge of the bombs, torpedos, and sighting in the 50 Caliber Browning machine guns on the airplanes. He has passed on, but I have the yearbook from the Yorktown. It is called “Into the wind”. Dad said that this is because they launched the planes into the wind. He was talking about this when he passed on. I will never stop missing him.

[@normandong4479]

The History Channel we see on cable TV seldom (emphasis) show such historic shows or footage. Instead, you get reality shows about junk dealers, ridiculous pawn shops or living in the wild with an axe and gun. The Essex carriers, built for WWII, were in a class by themselves. No other navy had an aircraft carrier even close to its size and displacement. While none of the air combat was ever simple, the Essex class carriers Gave the U.S. Navy and its aviators a clear advantage in terms of aircraft and defensive firepower. Our Navy’s experience led to later and even larger carriers in the decades following WWII, and we are stronger and safer because of it.

[@wilsthelimit]

[@hankthepatriot3733]

The USS Yorktown CV-5 was one helluva tough ship! She took multiple beatings and kept coming back until she was finally lost at Midway... CV-10 definitely lived up to the legacy of Yorktown!

[@ottaviobasques]

Given that both Yorktown and Hornet of the Essex-class are museum-ships, I guess I can tell that the fighting spirit of Enty lives within them. Awesome music btw, easily one of the best in the Naval Legends.

[@f430ferrari5]

The battleship could have been made more significant so long as the IJN decided to properly use them at Midway. Had the battleships been up front and the carriers were trailing behind it would have been a lot harder for the US planes to strike these additional targets. Some battleships could have shelled Midway and some push forward with destroyer escorts to pose a threat to Task Force 17 and 16.

[@BlindMansRevenge2002]

The short answer to your question is that the enterprise that serve during World War II was a pre-war carrier. The machinery and equipment that was installed was not as adaptable as the newer Essex class ships. Admiral Halsey did attempt to launch a campaign to have her turned into a museum ship but it failed probably because of lack of money. Eventually she was broken up.

Can't you just get that this is an American ship, and thus they will use American-employed measurements.

[@fdist04]

T. Rietbergen Around 872 size 45 shoes lined up heel to toe...

[@pancakepredator8474]

Panzergrenadier Productions you cant blame the dude though. I mean, I think its about time we started using the metric system

[@fdist04]

PancakePredator I feel that the imperial system is easier to imagine though...I grew up using the metric system and I still can't imagine how long 200m is.
