The Yorktown Association organized the first gathering of our veterans to celebrate their service aboard the Fighting Lady in New York City, five years after the ship's commissioning, on April 15th 1948. We've honored this tradition each year since, now holding our annual reunion aboard the ship. Since the USS Yorktown came to Patriots Point, the Association has had a presence on the ship. Our non

-profit organization serves an important role as the caretaker of the Yorktown's storied history and her crews. We're preserving the legacy of our Yorktowners and providing a returning place for them, their family and friends.

⚓ On This Day — July 27, 1953

Seventy-three years ago today, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed at Panmunjom, bringing an end to three years of fighting on the Korean Peninsula.

By 1953, USS Yorktown (CV-10) was back in the fleet — reactivated and modernized as the attack carrier CVA-10, ready for combat duty. But the armistice was signed just as she rejoined active service, and The Fighting Lady never saw combat action in Korea. Still, she remained on deployment throughout the Asia-Pacific in the years that followed, part of the fleet that stood watch during an uneasy peace.

A reminder that not every chapter of a ship's story is written in battle — some of it is standing ready, wherever and whenever the call comes.

⚓ On This Day in Naval History — July 13, 1866
Congress created the rank of Admiral, and David G. Farragut became the first person to ever hold it in the U.S. Navy.
Farragut earned his fame at the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864, where he's remembered for the legendary order: "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" His promotion to Admiral marked a new era of recognition for naval leadership — a rank that carriers like the Fighting Lady would one day help define for a new generation of sailors.

🚢 Getting to Know Your New Shipboard Administrator!

Hello Yorktown family — I'm Alicia, and I'm honored to introduce myself as your new Shipboard Administrator!

I'll be helping run the Association's day-to-day operations, including member correspondence, the kiosk system, merchandise, and general administrative support. I'll also be here to directly support our crew, families, and members — helping plan visits and trips aboard the ship and making sure you have what you need along the way.

This role is especially meaningful to me because service runs in my family. My father served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Saratoga (CV-60), and my husband Mike is a Marine veteran. I've called the Charleston area home for 15 years, and I'm proud to be raising our two kids here. Outside of work, I love to travel and I'm an avid sourdough baker — a hobby that's become a bit of a family tradition! 🍞

I can't wait to get to know each of you and serve this incredible community. The Fighting Lady is in good hands! ⚓
And mark your calendars — our Reunion 2026 is October 7-10 with events on the ship, around Charleston, and at our host hotel! Registration closes September 7th so don't wait!
