Descreeption The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) damaged the Battle of Midway, 4 June 1942. The Yorktown lists heavily to the port side with smoke billowing from her funnel after an attack by Japanese aircraft during which she sustained three bomb hits and two torpedo hits. On 6 June 1942 the Japanese submarine I-168 scored another two torpedo hits on the crippled aircraft carrier and she sank on 7 June. Destroyers spent an entire day seeking out the Japanese submarine that sunk the Yorktown and her escort destroyer, USS Hammann (DD-412), but failed to sink I-168. The submarine was finally sunk by the USS Scamp (SS-277) on 27 July 1943.
