Kingston,Mi
I had an uncle who was a crew member on a dive bomber on the Lexington. When the Lexington was lost, they landed on the Yorktown and were renamed to reflect the new ship. His aircraft was lost at Midway and he (possibly the entire crew) were saved. He spent most of the rest of the war recovering from shrapnel wounds from the brass from his machine gun. He wasn't wearing his flight jacket and the brass burned his arms. He stayed with the navy to full retirement.
