Revell 1:485 USS Yorktown Aircraft Carrier
The Yorktown was one of the first ships designed from the ground up as an aircraft carrier rather than converted from some other type of ship. The Yorktown had three catapults to speed up aircraft launches, fuel capacity to service the ship, and 85 planes plus quarters for 3,000 crewmen. This new type of battle at sea where ships never make actual contact was put to the real test at the Battle of Midway. Along with the enterprise and hornet, the USS Yorktown scored a decisive victory that set the tone for the war and from which the Japanese were never able to recover.
