"USS YORKTOWN (CV-5) operating in the Pacific, 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 the 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 Yorktown's foremast."

Date April 1942

Since Yorktown won the poll, I'll go ahead and share a few photos of the real Yorktown CV-10 I took when we visited her in October. A beautiful ship with a storied history, including a film career!

USS Yorktown (CV-5) - Heavily damaged after bomb and torpedo attacks during the battle of Midway. While under tow back to Pearl Harbor, she was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-168 and sunk on June 7, 1942.

USS Hornet (CV-8) - After being heavily damaged by bomb and torpedo attacks during the battle Santa Cruz Islands, and with news of an enemy surface force approaching, she was ordered to be scuttled. However, she did not sink until the enemy surface force arrived and torpedoed her. She sunk on October 27, 1942.

USS Enterprise (CV-6) - Fought in every major battle and campaign in the Pacfic theatre, from Pearl Harbor to Okinawa. She was the sole survivor out of the three sister ships in her class.

----------------------------------------

The first image is supposed to represent the rendezvous of the three Yorktown-class sister ships before the battle of Midway. The Yorktown in on the left, with MS 12 camouflage, Enterprise in the center, with MS 11 camouflage, and Hornet on the right with the modified MS 12 camouflage.

The second image represents the Enterprise, with MS 21 camouflage, at the Hudson river for the 1945 Navy Day Fleet Review.

A Planes Discussion: "CV-10"

Did anybody else see this in the background of this scene? I've only just realized this while casually rewatching the film with friends for the anniversary last night. This is a really shitty image quality but there's a thing painted on Skipper's hangar.

Me: "wait wait wait look! Look it- it's the- the- the boat dude! That's the thing on the boat dude!!!"

It says "CV-10"

(here's another, clearer photo of the number on the right of the CV, because I didn't believe it actually said 10 but it absolutely does.)

As pointed out by @ask-shu-todoroki this actually is NOT a reference to the Flysenhower like I originally thought. Flysenhower is CVN-81.

This is CV-10.

So yes, the next question was of course: "Who the FUCK is CV-10 then???"

And this is what CV-10, as wikipedia states, actually is:

This is the USS Yorktown, which was only in service for five years (1943-1947) during WWII. She was since striken and is now a museum site at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, SC.

I have no clue why this ship's a part of Skipper's hangar decor, but aside from it being either an animator's mistake or a nod to the ship itself from them, it could either be there because

A) Skipper is just a history buff and likes/appreciates this other ship, or has had some history and experience with it, or

B) Someone lived in his hangar before him that had something to do with CV-10 (given the ship would be significantly older than both real-world Eisenhower and WoC Flysenhower)

So YEAH that's pretty interesting
