they went down in history due to the bravery of their crews

they are the ships that deserve to be called

on December 7th 1941 Japan attacked US naval vessels moored at Pearl Harbor

without a declaration of war the majority the US fleet station there was sunk or disabled

the main strike was delivered by Japanese planes

the assault on Pearl Harbor showed that powerful arm the battleships

the US navy needed a fleet of aircraft carriers

to successfully operate in the Pacific Ocean

the USS Yorktown cv5 that bravely fought the Japanese

and was sunk during the Battle of Midway served as prototype for the new class

the second ship initially named Bon Homme Richard

was then renamed USS Yorktown to honor her predecessor

American engineers took shortcomings from earlier carriers into

consideration the New Yorktown was bigger

had increased anti-aircraft armament powerful air group

USS Yorktown was commissioned in 1943 at Newport News Virginia

and where she left for her sea trials in the Atlantic

and then she was sent to the Pacific theater of operations

from 1943 through the end of the war in 1945

mark 12 guns 17 times quadruple Bofors mark two 40 mm

propulsion 8 times boilers from Babcock & Wilcox

4 times Westinghouse geared steam turbines

Yorktown is one of the heavy strike aircraft carriers Essex Class

the US Navy Commission 17 ships at this class between 1942 and 1945

In total, 24 Essex class aircraft carriers were built

It was the first time in history vessels that size were mass-produced

the USS Essex first the class receive the hull numbers CV-9

USS Yorktown built later was assigned CV-10

USS Yorktown was commissioned on the 15th of April 1943

Captain Joseph Clock commanded the ship during her sea trials

Yorktown lacked thick armor and powerful main guns but aircraft carrier does not need either

and uses her air group to attack the enemy

Yorktown launched aircraft from to catapult on the flight deck

one was located port and the other starboard

the catapults were operated from below decks

These big tanks here to store all the hydraulic fluid that was needed

and then the hydraulic fluid would be pumped

into the cylinder and which would push the bar all away forward

and then it would propel the aircraft off the flight deck that very intricate very

that would running through the show to get to the flight deck

compared to her predecessor Yorktown was faster

another important advantage of Yorktown was the independent work for four engine boiler rooms

she was the first aircraft carrier to have this feature

each machine had boiler and turbine rooms

the ship could still function properly with one remaining engine boiler room

this is their boiler right here the you something called bunker oil

they have to heat it before to the boiler

they could burn it then and then that would heat up the steam the water into steam which will go into the next room for to run the turbines

Crew quarter on Yorktown was situated very close to workshops

which could cause serious problems in the event the ship was hit

special attention was paid to the safety of the ship and her crew

all of Yorktown's ordinance was stored on the lower decks at the cabin

in case of a fire these compartments could be easily flooded

A bomb would be brought up from the bunker down below

any would be brought and the bomb would be assembled on a on a carrier

and they would put the the fins on the back to the bomb
