A Classic Car Appeared on a Sunken WWII Aircraft Carrier. No One Knows Who Put It There.
USS Yorktown (CV-5)—an aircraft carrier commissioned in September 1937 and sunk in October 1942—was equipped with 24 Oerlikon 20mm guns, 60 lb protective decks, and 90 aircraft. And, as it turns out, it also held one “1940-41 Ford Super Deluxe ‘Woody’ in black.”
Ford is not just any technological marvel—she’s the most advanced and most powerful ship in the world.
