USS Yorktown (CV-5)—an aircraft carrier commissioned in September 1937 and sunk in October 1942—was equipped with 24 Oerlikon 20mm guns, 60 lb protective decks, and 90 aircraft. And, as it turns out, it also held one “1940-41 Ford Super Deluxe ‘Woody’ in black.”

A crew researching an iconic US Navy aircraft carrier that sunk during World War II just discovered a baffling artifact inside: a Ford convertible that would've been nearly new when the USS Yorktown was torpedoed in June 1942.
