Photographer’s Note

4 Young Sailors on Lookout Pier in Charleston,
South Carolina, as the sunsets.

In the background is the USS Yorktown.
At nearly 900 feet in length, weighing in at more than 27,000 ton and bristling with weapons and war planes, the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10) was one of the most imposing modern marvels on the planet during WWII.

But it was her crew, some 2,500 sailors, who brought her to life, generated her fearless spirit and christened her with the nickname The Fighting Lady.
