There have been several USS Yorktowns. The previous one was sunk in World War 2 by the Japanese. The current aircraft carrier USS Yorktown was a replacement 60 years after that one sunk. There is an awesome web site by a Naval officer on the Yorktown. I have included his link for you because he covers the history and has photos on his site. He is also authoritative on the subject being a Naval Officer. See link below. Thanks for using answers com and wikianswers.
I think you made a mistake. The Uss Yorktown (CV-10) was an aircraft carrier that served from 1943 to 1970. The Uss Yorktown was actually CG-48 and was a cruiser. CG-28 was named Uss Mainwright.
Probably the Yorktown class: USS Yorktown, USS Hornet, USS Enterprise, and the single USS Wasp. USS Lexington had already been sunk prior to the Guadalcanal campaign. And the Light & Escort carriers hadn't arrived on station yet. USS Ranger was kept in the Atlantic, considered too vulnerable for Pacific work.
The first USS Yorktown aircraft was launched in 1956 in Yorktown, England and was the launch that started the flight program for that city at that time.
