Two days later, as it was being towed to safety and prospects that it might be saved had grown brighter, a Japanese submarine fired two torpedoes into the wounded ship. The following day the Yorktown capsized and sank. Casualties were few, the navy said, but did not give the figures. The Yorktowns losses were included in the total announced pievlously for the whole battle of Midway 92 officers und 215 enlisted men. Previously, the navy announced only that the Yorktown had been hit by Japanese torpedo planes and put out of action. The only other previously announced U.
