There were three '''Yorktown-class aircraft carriers''' in the [[US Navy]], during World War II: the ''USS Yorktown'', ''USS Enterprise'', and ''USS Hornet''. Built under the terms of the [[Washington Naval Treaty]], the carriers were deployed in several engagements through the war. ''USS Yorktown'' was sunk by a torpedo attack during the [[Battle of Midway]] in June 1942, and ''USS Hornet'' was sunk by air attack the following year. ''USS Enterprise'' survived the war but, judged to be obsolete, was put into reserve and later scrapped.
