Summary

DescriptionUSS Yorktown (CV-5) during the Battle of the Coral Sea, April 1942.jpg The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) operating in the Pacific in February 1942, photographed from a Douglas TBD-1 torpedo plane that has just taken off from her deck. Other TBD. And SBD aircraft are also ready——to be, launched. A F4F-3 "Wildcat" fighter is parked on the outrigger just forward of the island. The other ships in company include the fleet oiler USS Guadalupe (AO-32), a destroyer and "a heavy cruiser." This view has been retouched——to censor the CXAM-radar antenna mounted atop Yorktowns foremast.
