The Battle of Midway Roundtable

 

Survivors and KIA/MIA of

USS Yorktown (CV-5)

 

 

 

            The survivors of the sinking of the USS Yorktown at the Battle of Midway were returned to Pearl Harbor aboard various ships.  Nearly all of the enlisted men got there on USS Fulton (AS-11), while the officers did so aboard the Fulton as well as several other vessels.

 

            The first link below is a dual list of Yorktown’s officer survivors.  The first 4 pages provide a general listing of all officer survivors, and the last 3 pages list those who were taken aboard the Fulton.

 

            Following that is a set of links for the official muster taken aboard the Fulton.  Due to the number of names on the muster, the list is divided into 5 files as shown.  For easy reference, you can right-click each link and save the file in a folder of your choice in your computer.

 

Note that these lists include everyone who was recovered from the Yorktown, which includes a few aviators from the Enterprise who landed there before the Japanese attack disabled the ship.

 

            After the Fulton links you’ll find a listing of Yorktown crewmen and aviators who were killed or missing due to the Battle of Midway.
