Yorktown Class Carrier

The Yorktown Class is an American Aircraft Carrier that appears in Call of Duty: The War in the Pacific.

Performance
The Yorktown Class is very similiar to the Lexington Class, its speed and maneuverability are identical, and each can launch unlimited numbers of F4F Wildcats, SBD Dauntless's, TBF Avengers, sometimes F4U Corsairs, and sometimes limited numbers of TBM Avengers. One difference between the two is that the Yorktown has a smaller bridge, making it a smaller target for kamikazees, which can be a major factor in a major battle. Another difference is that the Yorktown has a few more flak cannons, which is a trade off for having fewer AA guns on board, however, the guns provide both with a good, and similiar, amount of protection. The biggest difference between the two and what makes the Yorktown more useful is that planes are able to take off and land from the Yorktown faster, this can be a major factor, especially when fighting against a Japanese carrier, especially since the Yorktown launches planes faster than all Japanese carriers.
