You didn't sit in the captain's chair! Go back.
Great video…. My grandfather was a Gunner on the Yorktown in WWII. He was on board when that bomb hit the deck and was one of the men wounded. He was still having shrapnel taken out of his inner thigh back in the 80’s due to that incident. He is no longer with us but he did get a chance to visit the ship back in 1996.
I went by this a few months back and spent a day there, we racked up 7 miles of walking on the ship and still didnt see everything I wanted to, it is truly an amazing ship.
Being Mobility impaired I could never go round these ships, so your series is more than Awesome for me :) Thank You Chase Thank You :) ( and I am in the UK too )
22:29 I died at the duck sign xDD "sitting duck" no? just me? okay
I got it too. little bit of a lol moment for me.
Sitting duck but not on wwter Whahaha
love these! thanks iChase!
Such a great video. Thanks iChase!
Oh man we still use those exact green “RECORD” books to this day
The USS Laffey there is awesome also
This is one of the best museums I have been to.
Fantastic video, iChase. Sure do like these museum videos.
I still remember visiting the Yorktown a few months before i left for boot camp. My father had a friend who would tell about how he served on both Yorktowns, joining the first one shortly before Pearl Harbor and served all the way to midway and was one of the few who stayed on board to save her before she was fatally struck and was one of the last to leave her, shortly after that he was assigned to the new Yorktown for the rest of the war. Also the helm was my favorite part of watch, i use to joke with my captain saying it's the one time a day i can say the ship is mine. And lastly i like the picture at the end with the paint barge along side(boy does that bring back memory's)
Nice video :-D
When I eventually visit USA, going to several museum ships is on my to do list, no doubts about that! :-)
Great job! Recently visited the Yorktown and was trying to get an idea of how big the hanger was in comparison to modern CVNs. You had the stats so thanks!
I am very close to this beautiful ship. I am about 3 hours away and I live in south Carolina. I am prideful to know that not only do we hold the oldest aircraft carrier we also hold the destroyer that wouldnt sink. WOOHOOO!!!!
I've actually live near there :) that museum along with the taffy where awesome!
Lived in Jacksonville NC for 5 years 2003 to 2008 didn't even know this ship was just down the coast. will have to go see her.
Chase these are my favorite videos you make so informative and makes history fun. I used to think only mathematics were a good time now I see I should have done a few more proofs. Great job love your work.
I visited the ship one month ago, it was awesome! Do get at the top of the control tower, its worth it. Unfortunately the engines room wasn't open to the public (flooded? or i just couldn't find it ??) but the Laffey destroyer engines room has simulation of a working engine room with sounds and everything. Also, don't be scarred by the state of the submarine outer hull, the main hull is fine and its worth visiting :).
But is so sad to know that USS Clamagore is on the way to artificial reef.
Wow thanks for this tour IChase, my wife and i visited Charlestown one year, took a boat tour of the bay and Fort Sumter of course, I saw the carrier and sub and other boats of in the distance and wondered what they were, wishing to tour them some day. So now I know what the carrier is and will have to return and visit it one day, probably with out my wife.
The Yorktown is awesome. I will always remember being there visiting the ship as a kid when September 11th happened. I went back with my Boy Scout troop and we spent the weekend on the ship, sleeping in the bunks and living there for 3 days. It was awesome being able to be there after hours and go all the places you normally couldn't go. Being down in the engine room at night is not a fun experience haha. It can be a little creepy. It was such an awesome trip. You really get a small taste of what it could be like to live there for months
When I was young (like 8) I got to spend a weekend on the Yorktown with my Boy Scout troop. We got to sleep on the carrier. Lemme tell you guys something: those bunks? Super small. Even for me at 8 years old they were not the sort of thing you wanted to wake up and lift your head in.
Yeah its great visit. Its pretty cool you were there, i live in Charleston so its right across the river
I was a Marine security guard aboard Midway CV-41, We were told that if the reduction gear were being worked on, One of Us would be there with a rifle and orders to kill anyone who tried to throw or in any way intentionally damage the reduction gear which is the ships transmission if you will.
Oh yeah, since if that gear is damaged, you'd literally have to tear the whole ship apart to repair it. Totally understandable
That was awesome, thanks!
Back in 1981 or so I got to stay on the ship for a 3 day weekend. We slept in a crew compartment of a set wrapped around the forward elevator. We had meals in a galley just aft of there under the forward edge of the hanger deck. We got to go into areas of the ship that at that time were not open to the public. It was a memorable trip.
hope you enjoyed your time here in my home town!!!!
Cool, Thanks for sharing.
I remember being in boy scouts we went and took a tour we was able to stay on the ship it was a pretty cool experience
Can't wait for you to talking about the Fire and Water event. :D
Thanks Ichase very informative
Calling a Fire Room an engine room is an insult to us BT's , That's Boiler Tech. I served on that Ship from1965 to 1968 in all four fire Rooms
Been there several times. It's really an awesome experience.
Bruh I have slept on that ship as a part of the BSA
I’m on right now with WiFi I’m in my bunk
Same
Trust me, I'm not complaining, but it feels like it's been so long since you announced you were going on this trip and now the videos are coming out. Loved the video regardless. (Yes I realize you had the whole thing with your mother, probably why its coming out now)
I've been on intrepid numerous times and I must say Yorktown looks like it has much more to see.
iChaseGaming, I actually spent the night on that ship when I was a kid. I was apart of the YMCA's version of the Boy Scouts and we had a blast on that ship. I've been back several times and always have a fun time checking everything out even though it's been almost 20 years since I spent the night on it. Just curious, did you get to spend any time on the Laffey moored next to it, or will that be another "Know Your Ship" episode in the future? If it isn't I think you should totally cover it because the history behind that ship is amazing. Anyways, thanks for your videos. Have a good one!
This is cool as I went out there to the Yorktown
32:40 The Canadian representative signed below the line because he was blind in one eye and had trouble seeing. This caused every other representative to sign a line below, which infuriated the Japanese. Eventually, General Richard Sutherland (chief of staff of Douglas MacArthur) had to cross out and rewrite the descriptions to satisfy the Japanese.
I knew about the story, but was able to quickly find sources to:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Moore_Cosgrave
www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/how-a-canadians-mistake-70-years-ago-almost-botched-japans-surrender-document/article26201436/
Thanks for that :) I just thought it was a neat little bit of history that not many ppl know about
ty for this. my dad served on this ship
Great video! (Next up Wyoming =3
Funny thing I can go to this ship anytime it is open. Been there a lot
I would have stuck around the "library" a bit too long too ;-). I've volunteered with the USS North Carolina, and I can say that any museum ship would love volunteers and usually has special "not part of the tour" elements that the general public don't get to see but Volunteers get regular access to ;-).
Also, in regards to the standardization you were talking about in the engine room... it would be interesting if you could do the engine room on the USS Texas... she has a triple expansion steam engine instead of the turbine engine of the newer ships...
For all the sailors who has either died or passed away rip and thank you for serving and protecting our country
Thanksya for this iChase, I really love these know your ship videos and tours (especially ones from the Pacific War and not to be too much of a weeb the Japanese carrier fleet in particular #PacificAirWarGeek because I believe that in terms of technological advances it was one of the biggest contributors to the world as we know it) and while I also like your gameplay videos I definitely prefer these.
About Yorktown specifically, what gearing did she use on her shafts (ie DD gear, CL gear) and was it affected by her modernisations?
dang that cougar got some lit guns
I was always baffled that there is no Yorktown class carrier in the game.
T K Indeed. It's utterly bizarre. Maybe they're waiting for the carrier rework before introducing the Yorktown and the Enterprise? :/
Cailus Griffin they most likely are going to release it as a premium or something as a donation to the restoration of the Yorktown irl
flightrulez They should. That class is debatably the most famous class the US had since they all fought at midway. And Enterprise went on to fight in about a billion other battles before she was inexplicably scrapped.
Kind of odd that Lexington was chosen instead of Yorktown, what with Lexington being so abnormally large compared to other carriers of the era. Not to mention that Yorktown is actually the evolutionary step between Ranger and Essex.
T K would WG ever do a line split?
The Corsair was removed from carrier service initially more due to logistics, so that they did not have to supply parts for two different types of fighters.
Really interesting to see the technical library was on display there. It’s my dream to just walk down to deck 4 on the USS Lexington and go through the sea of filing cabinets in her tech library for hours, but alas, it is closed off.
its still the wrong uss yorktown, the "real" uss yorktown(CV-5) that should be a museum ship; is unfortunately at the bottom of the pacific near midway
'gzactly, sunk by torps from I-168 submarine, after been crippled by multiple waves of air torpedo and bomber attacks
Me
USS Yorktown (CV-5) would be okay if that damn submarine didn't come at the wrong time
Still, I'm glad the second Yorktown was saved. It too was a brilliant carrier and as a museum is a wonderful tribute to both ships.
Funny we used to call the DRT a dead reckoning tracker. But makes more sense since you actually traced the plots on large pieces of trace paper. But it was a long time ago maybe I for got what we called it, lol.
Ive stayed on that ship for boy scouts. Yes, i mean slept on it. Twice, in fact.
Hope you can come on down to Texas some day to see the USS Texas and USS Lexington
Ahh the fighting lady. Visted her few years back. Are you doing the Laffey as well. Also do the sub she will not be there soon
Just visited the Fighting Lady for the 6th time since I've lived here. They really updated the Laffey, you should go back and check it out!
Great to see Yorktown preserved so well. Just a shame that the first carrier of the class, Essex couldn't be saved also. Either her or the Big E would have been a wonderful museum.
CHASE i was just there YESTERDAY :333
:33 hope you enjoyed it ^^
I take it the dual 5 inch 38 caliber guns were removed during one of her two refits
More more!!!!
Well Done. Next stop... USS Midway in San Diego?
I went there!!
"If I had Canadian soldiers, American technology, and British officers I could rule the world." America, Canada and The UK are a perfect combo.
History Baron so apparently Canadian soldiers are the best soldiers?
ArmoredBattalion yep.
Oh I was just there last summer, I would show my pictures but I can't on TH-cam
Her mods were a extended bow and a angled flight deck
Chase, do you have any idea that USS Clamagore(SS-343) beside them is announce to be sunk as artificial reef? It's so sad for me that there's no any chance to visit them before she face the destiny.
From Glenn Kennedy on Yorktown 1961 to1964
when can you do a Know Your Ship New Orleans class CA ??? They are my favorite CA.
Lol Chase you couldn't have taken your much needed break from the game at a better time. Community got a bit more toxic with the Notser vs Flamu thing. Loving your episodes keep them coming!
uhhh why are Noster and Flamu fighting each other?
Ah well, Notser made a video showing him using a Des Moines with IFHE, and there was backlash from it. Flamu made a guide to IFHE that looks like a response to Notser's video. And now imo Notser got salty - check out the first minutes of his Montana w. Manual Secondaries vid you'll see why I say he's being really salty.
dang... also what is it with this community and its tendency to be very fractured
people have different views and opinions and that's perfectly okay, it only gets out of hand when anyone refuses to receive (constructive) criticism and begins to denounce others. This doesn't just apply to wows community though. It's just a general rule
Hey chase did you go on the fort Sumter tour also?
Yorktown is a museum ship? That's cool! I thought she sank at the Battle of Midway.
Lord Runolfr Ulfsson she did they built another carrier and named it after Yorktown
Lord Runolfr Ulfsson This is the Essex-class USS Yorktown, built after the Battle of Midway and named in honour of the original USS Yorktown that sunk at Midway. Well, really, it sank after Midway. The Japanese hit the Yorktown with two air strikes, but the crew were so good and the ship so well built that the Yorktown remained afloat. It took a submarine attack a day or two later to finally sink the carrier.
She did, that was CV-5 of the Original Yorktown class...this Yorktown is CV-10 of the Essex class
Lord Runolfr Ulfsson (That is the 2nd Yorktown Not the First witch was its own Class (Enterprise Should have been a Museum!!!
asaeampan
3 Enterprise?
i think there are only 2 of them (the CV-6 and the CVN-65?)
You look like an old buddy of mine from the Air Force.
About: 23:34 - Well at least in WoWs BBs still rule suprem, until a decent/good CV skipper shows up. ;) And thats why I like CVs in my matches. WG, make CVs great again for better team play in random battles!
I wonder if World of Warship will create 2 premium USS Yorktown ship
btw wat happend to my submarine i could never use..
or never knew how to use it in battle ?
was it just a tease ?
Did any one mention tiger cruise to you? LOL.
Hi,can you a videos make from the Richeliue class?
27:40 Notser was here.
19:51 ermagherd is that your beautiful face IChase?
Wait a second didn't' she sunk in ww2? I mean the Yorktown class carrier Yorktown that was sunk and her crew helped by the Yorktown class carrier Enterprise
Matteo This is the Essex class carrier which was made afterwards
New Zealand getting forced off the bottom. \__(-__-)_/
19:50 face reveal (sort of)
0.0
What's the intro music?
please go to HMCS Haida
0:18 is that a gearing class on the left?
Chow Tom It is an Allen M. Sumner class, USS Laffey
19:15 Um, is "expedious" a word? Pretty sure it's not, and I can't find it in any dictionary (except for Urban Dictionary, which essentially just throws up its hands with this word and says "ya, we got nothing"). I'm guessing they meant "expeditious", and maybe ran out of room on that line...?
I'm pretty sure they meant to write expeditious.
Seems to be a lot of companies called Expedious xxx, possibly because Expeditious xxx was already taken?
I thought that "the fighting lady" was the Lexington's nickname? Also I can't get over being annoyed about the intrepid and Yorktown both being saved as museums while they scrapped the Enterprise.....
That's USS Maryland(BB-46), her nickname is "Fighting Mary". For Yorktown, she is always called "Yorky". And for Lexington, "Blue Ghost" is much more famous than "Lady Lex". One thing to mention is that even Yorktown has the smaller hull number, Blue Ghost is the last to retire, and the elder one among all four sisters of her kind.
Isaac Doggart ikr so sad
Uhg, Blue Ghost and Lady Lex are two different ships and as a member of the US navy i can assure you Lady Lex is FAR more famous having been in the first carrier combat in history and managing to stop the Japanese invasion of Australia before being scuttled after a fire.
From material I read, some still called CV-16 "Lady Lex" as CV-2, but nickname "Blue Ghost" is much more distinguish in her service life. For both lovely lady, they do fulfill their duty in service time, and I respect both of them. Interesting enough, CV-16 is famous in China due to its relationship with CV-2, and what she did in Asia.
December 2016, people still use the "display date on image" feature on their cameras.
(just find it funny, don't go overboard on this..haha, made a funny there.. carry on)
Edit: a lava powered washing machine. Cool!
XD I am old fashioned lol, like the date for when I put the photos into a physical album
Oh God! Really old fashioned! Printing pictures, physical albums ... this reminds me, on a slightly similar note, I still have some stamp albums stashed somewhere from when I was a kid, lol.
Anyway, thanks for this series, it's nice to see these places I'll probably never be able to visit in person, I've read a lot as a kid about the Atlantic and Pacific wars, it's actually bringing back memories seeing these ships!
(just.. keep uploading on YT and resist the urge of recording it on VHS) :D
What aircraft carrier is this ??? it isn't the Yorktown the Yorktown was torpedoed and sunk at the battle of mid way 7 June 1942 she was found at the bottom of the ocean and photographed by Dr. Robert Ballard 19 May 1998
Matthew Haynes no there are two Yorktowns this one was built in 1944
Uss yorktown but there ghost in yorktown
Again with the documents?! OMG, we can't take u anywhere, lol!
And I'm triggered with the blueprints and not in a good way...
wish for graf zeppelin
do a showface video please
Wasn't it sunk in the battle of Midway?
Me I think that was the Lexington class carrier, and they just named this Essex class to remember it
There were no Lexington class carriers named Yorktown or at midway, that was CV-5 Yorktown lead ship of the Yorktown class.
They named another carrier that came off the assembly line a few months later the Yorktown just to fuck with the Japanese.
1944 Crews U.S.S.YORKTOWN and Lexington Give U.S.S.INTREPID NIckname Dectrepid and Unlucky 1 Because Of kamikaze attacks
As usual another good report nice job but I must share the negative. If this is another cv coming to the game but I shall not buy it reason is simple the continue nerfing of cv's it now at the point it useless to play any more WG has all but destroyed this class in their game.
Slept on that ship twice in boy scouts
They really need to nerf CV. This video shows that they are indeed op.
