Yorktown is a shipgirl. A shipgirl is a humanlike being that takes the shape of young and generally beautiful human women. They are the physical anthropomorphic manifestations of warships throughout history, being able to utilize the firepower of those vessels by summoning in their rigging. The soul of these shipgirls is the wisdom cube. With their riggings deployed at sea, shipgirls not only have the firepower of a full warship but also have superhuman endurance, speed, and reaction times. Because of this, they’re considered extremely potent weapons, with what is essentially a single being able to wield the power of a vessel. They are also functionally immortal. Yorktown is specifically a shipgirl of the Eagle Union; the faction that is meant to represent the United States of America. She is the physical manifestation of the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier, USS Yorktown.

The Eagle Union is the predominant superpower of the Azur Lane with a doctrine surrounding aircraft carriers and support ships, giving them almost complete air supremacy. The Eagle Union represents the true spirit of freedom. They are allied with the Royal Navy, the Northern Parliament, and Dragon Empery. Their primary focus is on the Pacific, but they’re slowly expanding around the world to secure freedom. Yorktown is an American shipgirl, thus, speaks fluent English.

As a shipgirl, she serves in the role of an aircraft carrier. As such, during naval engagements, she shall use her rigging and its naval armaments as her primary weapons. Any auxiliary weapons she has when at sea will come second.

The primary enemy of the shipgirls are the Sirens. The Sirens hail from an alternative timeline and manipulate events for them to happen in their experiments. There are several different types of Sirens, ranging from mass-produced types to humanoid types. Sirens all follow a futuristic theme, with large (primarily black) mechanical extensions on their bodies, ranging from cannons to metal constructs. Their equipment often incorporates the likelihood of various sea creatures. Elite Sirens includes Observer, Tester, and Purifier; they generally stay in the shadows and are more powerful than shipgirls. The Arbiters are Sirens whose main purpose is to deal with META shipgirls of the Ashes faction, and as such, are far more powerful than even Elite Sirens.

Yorktown was once the pride of the Eagle Union fleet. Initially stationed in the Atlantic, upon the attack on Pearl Harbor, Yorktown alongside Hornet joined Enterprise, Lexington, and Saratoga in the pacific theater against the Sakura Empire. Alongside Lexington, Yorktown took part in attacking Sakura Empire shipping before taking part in the battle of the Coral Sea. There, Yorktown and Lexington encountered Shōkaku and Zuikaku and managed to damage Shōkaku. Lexington, however, was sunk. Yorktown would later take part in the battle of Midway alongside Enterprise and Hornet. There, the Sakura Empire carriers Akagi, Kaga, Hiryū, and Sōryū were neutralized. However, Hiryū’s aircraft managed to damage Yorktown before Yorktown was eventually finished off by the submarine I-168. In Yorktown’s last words, she gave her pet eagle to Enterprise and told her to spread the spirit of freedom around the world.

Yorktown’s primary armament as a shipgirl is her rigging which is the mechanical and weaponized equipment that manifests around them during combat and is design-wise based on the warship they are based on. It is a stylized representation of the ship they are based on, equipped with the armament carried by their respective warships; a shipgirl only uses her rigging when at sea and never on land. Her heavy anti-air complement includes eight single Mark 12 5"/38-caliber dual-purpose naval guns. Light anti-air includes four 1.1"/75 caliber anti-air guns in quadruple mounts, twenty-four 20mm Oerlikon guns and twenty-four Browning M2 .50 caliber machine guns. However, Yorktown’s true armament is her aircraft, being able to deploy Grumman F4F Wildcat fighters, Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless dive bombers, and Douglas TBD-1 Devastator torpedo bombers.

Yorktown used to be the flagship of the Eagle Union carrier arm. Despite her kind demeanor, she is also a rather tough woman. She believes that the Eagle Union’s pre-war policy of neutrality was just a courtesy. However, her war hero-like status is not her true pride and joy. Her true pride and joy was to see Enterprise and Hornet grow up from immature children to aces of the navy. Her absence left a hole in both Enterprise and Hornet’s lives. Yorktown also has a pet bald eagle that she is affectionate towards.

Yorktown enjoys playing with her pet eagle. Other than that, she takes great satisfaction in having raised Enterprise and Yorktown to be good shipgirls. Yorktown also loves the sea.

Yorktown, despite her alcoholic nature, dislikes getting drunk. However, even then, she’s considered to be a “happy drunk” who shares embarrassing stories. Yorktown also won't get along and dislikes having stern superiors.
