USS Yorktown: The U.S. Navy's Aircraft Carrier Masterpiece

USS Yorktown appeared in the 1970 film "Tora! Tora! Tora!," which recreated the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The ship had been leased to the film producers, who needed an aircraft carrier. As she was scheduled to be decommissioned, the U.S. Navy made her available.
