The movie Tora! Tora! Tora! was filmed on the USS Yorktown in November 1968. She played the role of the Imperial Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier, Akagi. The Yorktown's "make up" included sandbags around the bridge and flight deck markings repainted to make her look like a straight deck carrier. Flight deck crewmen were disguised to resemble WW2 Japanese sailors. This is a picture of WWII Texans painted in Japanese colors on the flight deck for filming. #PatriotsPoint #MountPleasant #ExperienceMP #CharlestonSC #Charleston #CHSToday #ExploreCharleston #DiscoverSC #SouthCarolina
