USS Yorktown Association

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.
