manthanboeing, on 17 October 2012 - 03:03 PM, said: thanks, +1. The design was a bit odd no matter what, they should have placed turret 2 on the same level as turret 1 and made turret 3 the higher one, that would have meant that all 3 turrets can fire at a target that is off the bow, Yes, the design is a bit crazy but served well during the war.

USS Yorktown (CV-5) was named after the Battle of Yorktown in 1781 and the lead ship of the Yorktown class which was designed after lessons learned from operations with the large converted battlecruiser Lexington class and the smaller purpose-built Ranger. She represented the epitome of U.S. pre-war carrier design. Yorktown was laid down on 21 May 1934 at Newport News, Virginia, by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co.; launched on 4 April 1936; sponsored by Eleanor Roosevelt; and commissioned at the Naval Operating Base (NOB), Norfolk, Virginia, on 30 September 1937, Capt. Ernest D. McWhorter in command.
