Description
Yorktown is an aircraft carrier of the Yorktown class and a prominent member of the Eagle Union fleet, serving as the eldest sister to Enterprise and Hornet. She possesses long silver hair, navy or light-purple eyes, stands 184 cm tall, and weighs 79 kg. Her attire typically consists of a black unbuttoned military uniform worn over a black croptop, paired with a white knee-length dress featuring black frills and yellow-lined cuffs. She completes her look with black pantyhose, blue cross-laced shoes, white gloves, an American flag armband, and a blue rose on her right chest.
Personality-wise, Yorktown embodies elegance and traditional femininity alongside a strong combat readiness. She exhibits self-consciousness about her age, occasionally expressing concern about being perceived as older and suggesting others might prefer her younger sisters. Despite these feelings, she remains deeply dedicated to her duties.
In combat, Yorktown utilizes two primary skills:
- **Vengeance**: Taking damage triggers the launch of an SBD Dauntless squadron, with a 20-second cooldown. Additionally, once per battle when her health falls below 20%, she recovers 15–25% of her maximum health. This skill references her dive bombers' actions at the Battle of Midway.
- **Fleet Carrier**: Launching an airstrike increases the damage output of the vanguard fleet by 5–15% for 8 seconds. This effect does not stack with identical skills.
Yorktown also manifests as **Yorktown II**, an Essex-class "Alternate" version with enhanced durability and aviation power. Her skillset shifts towards reconnaissance and fleet support:
- **The Fighting Lady**: Launches AD-1 Skyraider recon squadrons to mark enemies and reduce their anti-air capabilities while periodically restoring her own health. Equipping Eagle Union aircraft triggers special airstrikes.
- **Waltzing Beyond Tragedy**: Boosts her aviation and accuracy when deployed with three or more Eagle Union ships. She periodically fires a special barrage and supports other fleets during sorties by enhancing their firepower.
- **The Eagle Soars Free**: Accelerates airstrike reloads for Yorktown-class and Essex-class carriers while increasing their damage output and adding interceptive airstrikes during attacks.
Her background diverges between media. In the game narrative, Yorktown sustains critical damage during combat, aligning with her historical sinking. In the anime adaptation, she survives pivotal encounters, appearing later to reunite with Hornet and Hammann. Yorktown II’s introduction symbolizes a thematic rebirth, with skills emphasizing resilience and moving beyond past tragedies.
