The Yorktown and the Lexington are both carriers and therefore are nearly identical. Usually carrying fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo bombers, they act as mobile spawn points for aircraft. That is their main role and should avoid direct conflict at all costs. | The Yorktown and the Lexington are both carriers and therefore are nearly identical. Usually carrying fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo bombers, they act as mobile spawn points for aircraft. That is their main role and should avoid direct conflict at all costs. The only difference between Yorktown and Lexington is that Lexington class carriers sport more AA guns. | ||
Carriers cost no command points and cannot be replaced at all. They should be safeguarded as much as possible, and the destruction of the enemy carriers is generally one of the primary goals of any submarine captain. | Carriers cost no command points and cannot be replaced at all.

Lexington class carriers sport dual purpose weaponry, giving them a chance at attacking destroyers and surfaced submarines. They still have very little health, and when engaged by a destroyer, its torpedoes give it a definite edge. | |||
Some players have complained that carriers do not actually launch aircraft; however, they do launch aircraft in single player. | Some players have complained that carriers do not actually launch aircraft; however, they do launch aircraft in single player. | ||
