Context
Starting in the late 1950's the Yorktown was moved into the role of an antisubmarine warfare carrier. This meant her complement of aircraft would be tooled for that mission. The Tracker, Tracer, and Sea King would handle the antisubmarine missions, while the Banshee served as an escort and light reconnaissance fighter.
