Absolutely phenomenal large scale cutaways I found on Art Station of a Constitution-class refit vessel, the U.S.S. Yorktown, NCC-1717.

The Yorktown was rechristened U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A, and assigned to Captain Kirk and crew at the end of Star Trek lV: The One With The Whales The Voyage Home.

I'm not sure who the artist is (I think Lewis Niven?). Lemme know if you do so that I can properly credit them.

Happy Star Trek Day! Here's my monster project from 2021 to celebrate 55 years of Star Trek... a screenshot of every hero ship that was available in Star Trek Online at that point in time, representing the various shows and movies in the franchise.

USS Yorktown (CV-5) - Heavily damaged after bomb and torpedo attacks during the battle of Midway. While under tow back to Pearl Harbor, she was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-168 and sunk on June 7, 1942.

USS Hornet (CV-8) - After being heavily damaged by bomb and torpedo attacks during the battle Santa Cruz Islands, and with news of an enemy surface force approaching, she was ordered to be scuttled. However, she did not sink until the enemy surface force arrived and torpedoed her. She sunk on October 27, 1942.

USS Enterprise (CV-6) - Fought in every major battle and campaign in the Pacfic theatre, from Pearl Harbor to Okinawa. She was the sole survivor out of the three sister ships in her class.

"How Hornet Went Down," Windsor Star. January 12, 1943. Page 1. --- Eye Witness Account of U.S. Carrier's Last Fight --- The United Press war correspondent who wrote the following despatch had been compelled by reasons of military security, enforced by naval censorship, to suppress since October 26 one of the best stories of the Pacific war. On that date he witnessed the death of the carrier Hornet, and now, with official permission, describes it.

By CHARLES P. ARNOT United Press Staff Correspondent

HEADQUARTERS, UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET, PEARL HARBOR, Jan 17 - A seaman, lying on the blistering deck of the crippled aircraft carrier Hornet as enemy planes shrieked down, tried to climb off his stretcher "to have another shot at the Japs." One of his legs had been shattered, the other broken.

A man with a broken back tried to refuse a surgeon's care an his buddy could be treated first.

BOMB TOSSED OFF Four men ran to throw a blazing. bone-searing incendiary bomb off the deck.

Men rammed powder into almost red-hot guns with their bare handswhen the automatic controls were knocked out.

Those are a few of the scores of incidents that made American heroes and American history when the 11 United States warships, whose names were made public today, were sunk in the South Pacific last fall, all fighting to the last.

I was with the fleet. I saw the hit that crippled the Hornet and I heard at first hand the stories of officers and men in all four engagement concerned.

Japan paid a price for those ships which her navy should never forget

The Hornet was sunk in the battle of Santa Crus October 26. Japan paid with a large aircraft carrier damaged and probably sunk and two cruisers and three destroyers sunk by the Hornet's planes.

Cruisers Atlanta and Juneau, destroyers Laffey, Cushing, Monssen and Barton - Japan paid with one battleship, three heavy and two light cruisers and two light cruisers and five destroyers sunk.

Destroyers Preston, Walker and Benham - Japan paid with one battleship, three large cruisers and one destroyer sunk.
