Character

Yorktown

Yorktown is an aircraft carrier of U-Country in early WWII. Building on the experience of earlier classes, her design is more logical. Both Lexington and Yorktown participated in the Battle of Coral Sea, with Yorktown being damaged during this battle. Since the US Navy desperately needed aircraft carriers for the Battle of Midway, she was repaired in a short 72 hours. In the Battle of Midway, the three Yorktown-class aircraft carriers together wiped out the Japanese aircraft carrier forces. However, Yorktown was damaged by Hiryu's two waves of attack and sunk by I-168 in the end. It is worth mentioning that the famous Lieutenant John Thach was on Yorktown at that time. The Thach Weave tactic that he developed allowed US fighters to fight effectively against Japanese Zero fighters.
