I recently took a tour of this Essex class aircraft carrier, so I decided to build it as my first ship. The USS Yorktown CV-10 was commissioned in 1943, and now remains as a floating museum at Patriot's Point Charleston, SC.
VTOL: rotate guns
Trim: pitch guns
(For best results, I recommend starting in the water)
Enjoy!

They made more than one USS Yorktown. This is the Yorktown CV-10, I know cause I boarded it and toured it. @CooperAircraft
WRONG,USS Yorktown sank in the battle of midway
@ChasingHorizon Nice! Can't wait to see it!

You are filled with welcomes@IronOverlord
Yes that is true@DestinyAviation
It was probably the Yorktown CV-5. When the CV-5 was sunk, the United States built this one, the Yorktown CV-10. @DestinyAviation
I remember watching some documentary on the USS Enterprise and one of her sister ships was the Yorktown, which was sunk...is this a different Yorktown?
Thank you @ACMECo1940
