Overview

Join us January 25 from 2–3 PM for a gripping talk on the USS Yorktown and her crucial role in the opening months of the Pacific War. Historian and retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Chris Pike explores how a damaged carrier, rushed through repairs in just days, helped secure victory at the Battle of Midway and changed naval warfare forever. A powerful story of innovation, risk, and resilience.
