Yorktown Towed to Charleston for WWII Carrier Museum
The USS Yorktown nears Charleston as five tugs pull the 40,000-ton carrier from New York Harbor to join Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum. Veterans, including plank owners from the 1943 commission, mark the transfer amid plans for display, air exhibits, and a dedicatory ceremony in October.
