The battle of midway ended with the sinking of four main Japanese aircraft carriers. The U.S. won the battle and lost only one carrier, the USS Yorktown. Hundreds of naval aviators on both sides were killed.
During the Battle of Midway, the Americans lost one aircraft carrier, the USS Yorktown, one destroyer, the USS Hammann, and around 150 aircraft. The loss of the Yorktown was significant, but the destruction of four Japanese aircraft carriers marked a turning point in the war in the Pacific.
No, the one in Charleston saw service in WWII and Vietnam. But there was a previous aircraft carrier in WWII also called the Yorktown, that was lost at the battle of Midway. Just google "Yorktown CV-10' and you can read all about the one in Charleston.
US lost Yorktown; Japanese lost Kaga, Akagi, Soryu, Heryu
