USS Yorktown (CV-10)

13.4k IronOverlord  7.7 years ago

I recently took a tour of this Essex class aircraft carrier, so I decided to build it as my first ship. The USS Yorktown CV-10 was commissioned in 1943, and now remains as a floating museum at Patriot's Point Charleston, SC.

VTOL: rotate guns
Trim: pitch guns

(For best results, I recommend starting in the water)
Enjoy!

    It was probably the Yorktown CV-5. When the CV-5 was sunk, the United States built this one, the Yorktown CV-10. @DestinyAviation

    I remember watching some documentary on the USS Enterprise and one of her sister ships was the Yorktown, which was sunk...is this a different Yorktown?
