Trivia

 * Out of all three Yorktown-class carriers, only Enterprise survived the war: Yorktown perished in the aftermath of the Battle of Midway and Hornet was killed off during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands.
 * Enterprise, despite surviving the war, was scrapped in 1958 after turning it into a museum ship was a failure.
