"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."

This ship was never meant to be a weapon, but she got Taylor'd to death. This is the Skitter, formerly the Scarab, captained by Taylor Hebert. This ship carries about fifty fighters, mostly non-jet fighters and a few f-16s that the Chair Force 'lost' just like the Chair Force Commander that lost his nice office chair, the same one in Taylor's office aboard the Skitter.

The Scarab (in this AU) was the ship sunk to Doom the Boat Graveyard in Brockton Bay, and Taylor triggers after learning about why the Scarab was sunk, and how her hometown was abandoned to its fate.

She later wakes from a Tinker fugue with a sore back, aching hands, and a killer headache, but hey, she's got a boat now.

The Skitter would be roughly the same size as a Yorktown class carrier from ww2, and I chose that for symbolic reasons. The Yorktowns were fucking tough old ladies, and those girls did their duty to the utmost, even if Big E was scrapped instead of preserved like she should have been.

Time and again, the Japanese thought they had destroyed the last Yorktown, that they'd slain the grey ghost, but Enterprise survived, becoming the symbol of American resilience against the Japanese and eventually, the most decorated ship of the war.

You know how else kept getting back up, kept fighting on and on until she had given up everything she had? Taylor. I think she deserves a Yorktown, and I even gave her a little buddy.

I doubt it's visible, but it's Atlas as a fighter jet with a picture of a man holding up the world (the origin of the name) drawn on the back for good measure.

The yellow-black square left of the tower are drone chambers, which the Yorktown's didn't have obviously but the ships only loosely based on them so it's fine, it's not that unusual considering New Jersey had rockets back in Desert Storm. I wanted Taylor to still have her swarm, and so she does in the form of thousands of highly explosive drones shaped like mosquitoes.

Absolutely phenomenal large scale cutaways I found on Art Station of a Constitution-class refit vessel, the U.S.S. Yorktown, NCC-1717.

The Yorktown was rechristened U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A, and assigned to Captain Kirk and crew at the end of Star Trek lV: The One With The Whales The Voyage Home.

I'm not sure who the artist is (I think Lewis Niven?). Lemme know if you do so that I can properly credit them.

Happy Star Trek Day! Here's my monster project from 2021 to celebrate 55 years of Star Trek... a screenshot of every hero ship that was available in Star Trek Online at that point in time, representing the various shows and movies in the franchise.

#the luna class is there to represent lower decks because the california class wasn't in sto yet #and the yorktown class is there in lieu of the now-canon odyssey class... because the enterprise-f wasn't canon yet! #tbh i think this project contributed to my STO burnout LMAO #star trek #star trek online #star trek day

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.

"How Hornet Went Down," Windsor Star. January 12, 1943. Page 1. --- Eye Witness Account of U.S. Carrier's Last Fight --- The United Press war correspondent who wrote the following despatch had been compelled by reasons of military security, enforced by naval censorship, to suppress since October 26 one of the best stories of the Pacific war. On that date he witnessed the death of the carrier Hornet, and now, with official permission, describes it.

By CHARLES P. ARNOT United Press Staff Correspondent

HEADQUARTERS, UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET, PEARL HARBOR, Jan 17 - A seaman, lying on the blistering deck of the crippled aircraft carrier Hornet as enemy planes shrieked down, tried to climb off his stretcher "to have another shot at the Japs." One of his legs had been shattered, the other broken.

A man with a broken back tried to refuse a surgeon's care an his buddy could be treated first.

BOMB TOSSED OFF Four men ran to throw a blazing. bone-searing incendiary bomb off the deck.

Men rammed powder into almost red-hot guns with their bare handswhen the automatic controls were knocked out.

Those are a few of the scores of incidents that made American heroes and American history when the 11 United States warships, whose names were made public today, were sunk in the South Pacific last fall, all fighting to the last.

I was with the fleet. I saw the hit that crippled the Hornet and I heard at first hand the stories of officers and men in all four engagement concerned.

Japan paid a price for those ships which her navy should never forget

The Hornet was sunk in the battle of Santa Crus October 26. Japan paid with a large aircraft carrier damaged and probably sunk and two cruisers and three destroyers sunk by the Hornet's planes.

Cruisers Atlanta and Juneau, destroyers Laffey, Cushing, Monssen and Barton - Japan paid with one battleship, three heavy and two light cruisers and two light cruisers and five destroyers sunk.

Destroyers Preston, Walker and Benham - Japan paid with one battleship, three large cruisers and one destroyer sunk.
