![Battle of Midway, June 1942: USS Yorktown (CV-5) sinking, just after dawn on 7 June 1942, as seen from an accompanying destroyer. The ship has capsized to port, exposing the turn of her starboard bilge, with a large torpedo hole amidships severing the forward bilge keel. Yorktown's forefoot is at the extreme right. Her starboard forward 5-inch gun gallery can be seen further up her hull, with two 5"/38 gun barrels sticking out over its edge. The two larger thin objects sticking up, just aft of the 5-inch guns, are aircraft parking outriggers. When the ship's wreck was examined in May 1998, both guns were still in position, but the outriggers were gone.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/USS_Yorktown_%28CV-5%29_sinking%2C_7_June_1942.jpg/800px-USS_Yorktown_%28CV-5%29_sinking%2C_7_June_1942.jpg)
