Tech Tree Tier&nbsp;VIII [[Ship:Aircraft Carrier|Aircraft Carrier]].</p><p>The Yorktown-class ships entered service between 1937 and 1941 as the first mass-produced aircraft carriers of special construction in the U.S. Navy. They were designed with the limitations of international naval armament agreements in mind, but despite this, the American designers skillfully crafted these 20,000-ton aircraft carriers to be swift, spacious, and well-equipped. During the initial year of the war in the Pacific, ships of the Yorktown class, along with the Lexington-class carriers, constituted the primary strike force of the U.S. Navy.</p><p> </p></div>

===Pros===
|name=Smoke Curtain Generator
* Pro 1
|icon=Consumable PCY049 PlaneSmokeGenerator.png
* Pro 2
|description=Yorktown's tactical attack aircraft and tactical bomber squadrons can deploy smoke through '''Smoke Curtain Generators''' in battle. The consumable works the same as with smoke generators on surface ships, but uses the aircraft to direct the smoke screen. Her tactical aircraft, like most others, are equipped with boosters and consist of only one attack flight, and they do not return to the aircraft carrier.
|requirements=Activate the consumable with its assigned key. Tactical squadrons are available at the start of the battle. The squadrons do not return to the carrier; the full preparation time must elapse again before they can be launched again.
|effects=
*Tactical Attack Squadron preparation time: 126 seconds
*Tactical Bomber Squadron preparation time: 144 seconds
*Consumable action time: 10 s
*Smoke screen dispersion time: 60 s
*Action radius: 530 m
*Cooldown time: 90 s
*Number of consumables: 2
}}


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
===Cons===
* Planes have a decent health pool that allows them to get closer to drop payloads on enemy ships.
* Con 1
* High durability and high patrol radius on fighters
* Con 2
* Good Speed of 32.5 knots, and decent Maneuverability for a CV
* Tactical squadrons are able to create long smoke curtains for friendly ships, specially when combined with engine boost
* Tiny Tim rockets have high alpha damage, penetration and fire chance
* Attack aircraft are reasonably fast.


|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* All planes perform poorly against smaller, more nimble targets
* Only 6 Tiny Tim rockets are launched per attack run and have questionable accuracy that causes poor performance against smaller ships.
* bombers have low alpha damage and have a sparse spread pattern, making their damage verry unreliable.
* Unable to swap out Tiny Tim rockets against HVAR rockets, further reducing Yorktown's effectivity against smaller vessels
* Low fighter view range (2 km)
* Tactical squadrons take long to replenish, requiring the player to manage his planes more carefully than on other carriers

Yorktown — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier VIII Aircraft Carrier.

The Yorktown-class ships entered service between 1937 and 1941 as the first mass-produced aircraft carriers of special construction in the U.S. Navy. They were designed with the limitations of international naval armament agreements in mind, but despite this, the American designers skillfully crafted these 20,000-ton aircraft carriers to be swift, spacious, and well-equipped. During the initial year of the war in the Pacific, ships of the Yorktown class, along with the Lexington-class carriers, constituted the primary strike force of the U.S. Navy.
