Re: USS Oriskany

"The Yorktown in Carolina is the third to be named. The first was a sailing ship,"<br /><br />You are right, I forgot about the sailing ship. Of course, I usually don't count sailboats at all. ha ha So to me the USS Yorktown is the one on the bottom of the Pacific. <br /><br />Alaska, thanks for the info about stopping over the site of it's sinking. I did not know that happens. Awesome. Great ship lost in a great battle!
