Is Yorktown good?

Profile
Yorktown is voiced by Yuuki Kana in Japanese.
Background
A Bald Eagle can be seen landing on Yorktown, a reference to both the ship's adopted insignia, and as a symbol of American ideals.
This eagle would later end up in Enterprise's hands, after Yorktown is sunk during the Battle of Midway.
"YKTN" can be seen draped across the deck of the carrier, which is an acronym for her name.
A Grumman F4F Wildcat fighter and a Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber can be seen flying around Yorktown, the latter of which sunk Souryuu during the Battle of Midway.
