The yorktown was able to steam under her own power to pearl harbor where she received emergency repairs after the battle of the Coral Sea.

Unfortunately, due to extensive battle damage during the Battle of Midway, a Navy destroyer was forced to torpedo the sip after the crew had been evacuated.

A short time later, another carrier bearing the name Yorktown was commissioned.
