The arrowheads symbolise Aircraft and the role played in World War II of the third and fourth Yorktown as Aircraft Carriers. They also symbolises the AEGIS Weapon System of the Cruiser. The 19 Stars on the Brodure symbolises the 19 Battle Stars of the previous Yorktown's. The Griffin's Head symbolises heritage and spirit of the Yorktown. The Chevron rompu symbolises the siege of Cornwallis' Troop by American and French Troops at the Battle of Yorktown.
