the 50 footers would be in the boat bays plus 2 x 40 footers & a 35 footer while other 40 footers would be parked alongside the starboard side of the island. CV-5 USS Yorktown Booklet of General Plans (1940) https://archive.org/details/cv5bogp1940

USS Yorktown. Model built for the Seiji Maruyama’s 1968 “Yamamoto Isoroku” movie. The photo was taken in the Toho Studios.

Correct. That table looks to be accurate for February through May. After Lexington was hit, some of her aircraft landed on Yorktown, so post-battle you could have some of her birds on deck, but I don't recall how many or of what type.

Re: Calling all USS Yorktown CV-5 fans
Thank you Devin for your reply....
I did some extra research and l found out on this website http://www.wings-aviation.ch/24-Naval-W ... rktown.htm That Yorktown never had VT-2 (Cv2 Lexington) but had VT-5. So l need to change the markings...that should be side # before star
Please correct me if l'm wrong
Have a nice day Please check also the pics of the markings of the other markings of the other squadrons

Re: Calling all USS Yorktown CV-5 fans
At Coral Sea, Yorktown's airgroups still had the insignia with the red dot, and the rudder stripes.
I don't know about the LSO stripe. Enterprise around this time and at Midway had those LSO stripes on her aircraft, as evidenced in many photos, but I can't recall seeing any Yorktown aircraft with them.

Matt
The only time Hornet and Yorktown were in the same port after December 1941 was May 27-28, 1942. TF-16, USS Hornet and USS Enterprise entered Pearl on May 26 and after refueling they sortied on May 28. On May 27 TF-17, USS Yorktown entered Pearl and entered drydock 1 for refit and repair. Yorktown exited drydock on May 30 and TF-17 left to rendezvous at point luck with TF 16 just prior to the battle of Midway. I believe Yorktown and Hornet were in Norfolk together when Hornet was commissioning but Yorktown was immediately transferred to the pacific fleet arriving before the end of 1941. At the end of April Hornet was at Pearl but Yorktown and Lexington were in Tonga staying close enough to be able to stop the IJN attack of Port Moresby at the battle of Coral Sea. The pictures you show should be from May 27, since it shows the enlisted crew in whites which I've seen in numerous book/publications of her entering Pearl after Coral Sea.

Re: Calling all USS Yorktown CV-5 fans
Greg,
Yes, the uptakes from the boilers were airtight to keep hot exhaust gases, from escaping the stack, exiting into the interior of the ship. They were most likely insulated as well to keep the gases hot as they went up the stack. Both aspects of the design, airtight and isolated, provided a proper draw of air through the boiler, increasing efficiency of the combustion.

I have to make the hangar and the kit makes it as a straight wall...but l saw in the Enterprise and the Hornet as a slope wall... so l found a picture of Yorktown’s hangar during the battle of Midway and it looks like also a slope wall... So my question is...am l seeing things or am l right?? Here are the pics and also you will see in the plans where the wall is the phrase "slope BLH a.t.” would this mean slope bulkhead airtight??? Thank you and have a nice evening Greg
