Title: USS Yorktown (CV-5)
Description: USS Yorktown (CV-5) Parade on the flight deck, 10 April 1942, during the Yorktown Jamboree. Following the ship's band, Marines with M-1 (Garand) rifles and fixed bayonets guard the Big T-Bone Steak ... the only one in captivity that was one feature of this celebration. At the extreme right is the tail of a F4F-3 Wildcat fighter (Bureau # 3999) that had been transferred to Fighting Squadron 42 (VF-42) from Fighting Squadron Two (VF-2) in March 1942. Note Bombing Squadron Five (VB-5) SBD-3 aircraft parked in the background and volleyball net in upper center. Courtesy of the U.S. Naval Institute, 1984.
