70 Years Ago: USS Yorktown May 29, 1942

May 29, 1942, USS Yorktown still in drydock at Pearl Harbor. Shipyard workers labored around the clock to repair damage enough that Yorktown could operate at sea for a couple of weeks. During the repairs, the ship also took on supplies, spare parts, and new equipment. The Japanese attack was scheduled for June 4. Would Yorktown be ready in time.
