USS Yorktown (CV-5) var ett amerikanskt hangarfartyg av Yorktown-klass i tjänst under andra världskriget. Fartyget sänktes i slaget vid Midway den 7 juni 1942. Den 19 maj 1998 lyckades en expedition med forskare och veteraner från slaget vid Midway ledd av Robert Ballard lokalisera och fotografera vraket av fartyget. Fartyget var förvånansvärt intakt och mycket av färgen och utrustningen var fortfarande synlig.

USS Yorktown (CV-5) is hit on the port side, amidships, by a Japanese Type 91 aerial torpedo during the mid-afternoon attack by planes from the carrier Hiryu, in the Battle of Midway, on 4 June, 1942. Yorktown is heeling to port and is seen at a different aspect than in other views taken by USS Pensacola (CA-24), indicating that this is the second of the two torpedo hits she received. Note very heavy anti-aircraft fire.
