  Yankee lll review
A wealthy Anglophile named Lambert, feeling Sopwith had been somewhat ill treated, bought Yankee and then raced her for a season in Britain where she was generally outranked by Endeavour.
At the time Yankee was racing in Britain, John Black, known for the Marblehead 'Cheerio' among others, wrote a series of articles carried by a Boston paper describing the construction of a 36" model of her.
This model 'Yankee Jnr' and the changes to the basic design that Black made are also described in some detail by Earl adding considerably to one's enjoyment of the whole.

  Yankee class submarine   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Yankee class is the general NATO classification for a type of nuclear-powered submarine that was originally constructed by the Soviet Union around 1968.
They were the first class of Soviet subs to have comparable firepower, in terms of ballistic missile batteries, to their American counterparts.
Yankee subs were quieter than their Hotel-class predecessors and had smoother lines that made them more efficient in the water.

 Spring Training History Articles
Yankees manager Casey Stengel had assembled a camp of some 25 rookies for an instructional school in Phoenix, Ariz. and Mantle quickly became the focus of Stengel's attention.
The dynastic Yankees were rarely impulsive about promoting minor leaguers-much less kids from the low minors; but when Casey saw Mantle, he began wondering whether this time the old rules didn't apply.
The Yankees front office was stunned by the announcement, but the disbelieving press reported, hopefully, that DiMaggio had left a loophole with his promise of a definitive statement at the end of the year.

 National Geographic: Submarine Milestones -- Yankee Class
The Yankee-class submarines were significantly quieter than Hotel-class submarines due to a smoother hull shape, special propeller design, exterior sound-deadening coatings, and other modifications.
Several subs in the class were modified, such as the K-403 and K-411, whose missile compartments were converted to carry miniature submarines.
All but two Yankee submarines have been decommissioned and have had their missile compartments cut out to comply with the START II arms-reduction treaty.

 Haze Gray & Underway Photo Feature: Soviet & Russian Navy - Ballistic Missile Submarines
The 'GOLF' class was the first purpose-built Soviet ballistic missile boats, although several 'ZULU' class attack subs were converted to an improvised ballistic missile configuration.
The 'YANKEEs' were the first Soviet ballistic missile submarines designed for surface-launched missiles; they carried 16 SS-N-6 SLBMs abaft the sail, much like US SSBNs.
This was the second time K-219 suffered a missile accident, and she did not survive the experience, sinking on 6 October 1986.

 Confederate Yankee: A Shred More Class
There will be some who clamor to claim victory for my resignation, but I caution them that in doing so, they are tacitly accepting responsibility for those who have deluged my blog and my inbox with vitriol and veiled threats.

 Yankee One Design   (Site not responding. Last check: )
I say "spotty" because none of these classes has attained "national security," and their popularity varies from year to year and from locality to locality.
The Universal, International, and Square-Metre Rules, then, have failed to establish permanent classes of small boats, and it is an astounding fact, which cannot be attributed entirely to the prospects of the Yankee Class, that there are few, if any, boats building this winter to any one-design class of this size.
That the one-design field extends up to and beyond the $2,000 price class has been amply proved by the great number of such classes, racing and cruising, that have been launched in recent years.

 Four Lakes Ice Yacht Club Message Board from Madison, WI, USA / What's the Difference Between a Skeeter & a Yankee?
A Yankee is a class of skeeter, I believe it falls in the "b" skeeter class due to specs.
A Yankee is a one-design class and has specific requirements for dimensions and construction.
The sail area was deliberately set at the Class E size to make the boat eligible for Skeeter competition in addition to Yankee class racing.

 Submarine History 1945-2000: A Timeline of Development
However, erection of the launching ramp and preparation of the missile kept the submarine on the surface for five minutes; therefore, a hand-off control system was developed, whereby another submarine, 80 miles downrange, could take over for the last 55 miles of missile flight.
The U. Navy began operation of a fast-submarine test bed, the 203-foot "Albacore." The hull form was similar to that of an airship; the boat went through five experimental configurations; in the first, she demonstrated underwater speeds of 26 knots.
In preparation for development of the next submarine class ("Virginia"), the U. Navy elected to create a one-fourth scale, unmanned, submarine, to test new and emerging technologies before they are committed to full-scale ships.

Some classes were given first a temporairy designation, based on the first sighting, then a NATO 'K' Reporting Name, and finally the class was known by the name of its lead vessel.
