The USS Yorktown (CV-10) and the USS Yorktown (CG-48) are two different ships with distinct roles and classifications in the United States Navy. We actually made a nice video about the USS Yorktown (CV-10) on our YouTube channel, if you are interested. But here are the differences: USS Yorktown (CV-10): CV stands for "Aircraft Carrier," indicating that it is an aircraft carrier ship. CV-10 was one of the 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II. It was commissioned on April 15, 1943. The ship had a large flight deck and hangar bay and could carry approximately 90-100 aircraft. USS Yorktown (CV-10) served during World War II, the Cold War, and the early years of the Vietnam War. It played a significant role in various battles, including the Battle of the Philippine Sea and the Battle of Leyte Gulf. After its active service, the USS Yorktown (CV-10) was preserved as a museum ship and can be visited at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. USS Yorktown (CG-48): CG stands for "Guided Missile Cruiser," indicating that it is a guided missile cruiser ship. CG-48 was a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser in the United States Navy. It was commissioned on July 4, 1984. Unlike aircraft carriers, guided missile cruisers are primarily equipped with guided missile systems and serve as multi-mission surface combatants. USS Yorktown (CG-48) was involved in various roles, including air defense, anti-submarine warfare, and anti-surface warfare. The ship served during the latter years of the Cold War and continued its service into the 21st century. It participated in operations such as the Gulf War and patrolled various regions to support U.S. national security interests. In summary, the USS Yorktown (CV-10) was an aircraft carrier that served primarily during World War II, while the USS Yorktown (CG-48) was a guided missile cruiser with a different set of capabilities, serving during the later years of the Cold War and beyond.
The USS Yorktown (Formally CV-10) is at Patriots Point Marine Museum on Charlestown, SC harbor (Mt.Pleasent, SC).
