HUGE birds, and the were all on the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown. :-)

And they do make it clear it's the -second- Yorktown, right? The
first was sunk at Midway.

Yup it's #2. It's last mission was recovering an Apollo space capsule,
don't know which Apollo mission or what year.
Actually, it was Apollo 8 in 1968.

Now in commission is the guided-missile cruiser Yorktown. That's the ship that had to be towed back to port when a divide-by-zero error, caused by a gunnery officer entering point blank range crashed most of the networked computers, including the propulsion system.
