Star Trek Beyond: Starbase Yorktown Introduction Sequence

USS Yorktown is one of the most unique and interesting space stations we’ve ever seen in a Star Trek film. And this amazing beauty shot is probably one of my favourite scenes from any of the Star Trek reboot films. Why is it called the ’Yorktown’? The original pitch for Star Trek by Gene Rodenberry in 1964 had the starship named Yorktown instead of Enterprise. Nice homage. What are your thought on this design?
