05:30 on 7 June 1942 (5:30 AM, three days after the Battle of Midway) The Yorktown succumbed to torpedoes from the Japanese submarine I-168 while salvage operations were under way from the damage she received at Midway.

CV-6, USS Enterprise, the most decorated warship of WWII, was never sunk; in fact it was the ONLY Yorktown class aircraft carrier to survive the war. Her sisters, the USS Yorktown was lost at the Battle of Midway, and the USS Hornet was sunk during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands.
