OK first of all, alot of this article seems to be ripped off from http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/ships/carriers/histories/cv05-yorktown/cv05-yorktown.html

Many paragraphs have been directly copied.

the error mentioned later in this passage was also copied Rekov 20 May 2006

Pics of Yorktowns wreckage should be displayed.

I-168 sunk her. NOT I-158 See combinedfleet.com

[edit] Length

This article is rather long. I don't suggest that material be removed, but rather that work be done to divide it into more sections and otherwise organize it.--Lewk_of_Serthic 01:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What does "Struck 2 October 1942" mean?

The table at right contains that line of text... yet it also says the Yorktown was sunk on 7 June 1942. I suggest either the "struck" line should be omitted, the date corrected if applicable, or some explanation given of what it means for a ship to be "struck" after it is "sunk".

I'll remove the line of text unless someone chimes in with a more specific fix...

Kirkpete (talk) 15:30, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

"Struck" refers to the ship's removal from the Naval Vessel Register, the register of Navy assets. It's not unusual for this to take place at a later date; it takes some time for an official determination of whether a ship is unrecoverable. Maralia (talk) 15:47, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

OK, now I would argue for striking the line as immaterial. Alternatively, this explanation should be incorporated in the table somehow... but I don't think it's worth the space. Kirkpete (talk) 11:46, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
