The USS Yorktown (CV-10), which served as a U.S. aircraft carrier from World War II to the Vietnam War and is now a museum, has returned a Japanese good luck flag of Kumakichi Yamashita, a soldier from Kagoshima Prefecture. The Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, which manages the Yorktown, has posted a video of the event on YouTube.
