The Yorktown is the second carrier to be named so. The original Yorktown CVA 5 was sunk early in WWII. CVA 10, and later CVS 10 saw battle in the latter part of the war in the Pacific. The flight deck of the Yorktown was only 900 feet long. The Yorktown is now a museum at Patriots Point in South Carolina.
