Saratoga received 7 battle stars for her WWII service
CV-3: History of the Legendary Aircraft Carrier, 1927-1946. The story
of the USS Saratoga, which survived the 1922 Washington Disarmament Treaty's
cutting torch through her conversion to a new and seemingly benign type of
vessel: the aircraft carrier. As you'll see, however, no carrier, or ship,
played a greater role in developing the men and tactics that became the massive
force that is now the United States Naval Aviation.

twenty-eight F11C-2 Goshawk fighter-bombers in October, 1932, all of which -
save one - were flown by VF-1B, the "High Hat" squadron, stationed on the USS
Saratoga (CV-3)

Navy's new, big carriers: the USS Saratoga (CV-3) and the USS Lexington (CV-2)
Originally designed as a battle cruiser, the USS Saratoga was converted,
mid-construction, into one of the U.S. Navy's first aircraft carriers. This is
an impressive carrier from its development to its service during World War II
and its final resting place at the bottom of Bikini Atoll.
The USS Saratoga was the U.S. Navy's second aircraft carrier, being
commissioned in November, 1927, one month before her class leader, USS Lexington
(CV-2). And though she survived World War II only to serve as a guinea pig
anchored with other ships for post-war testing of the atomic bomb, now you can
bring her back to life again! The Saratoga had a complement of biplanes including nine F3Fs, nine SBU-1 Corsairs, nine BFC-2s and six TG-2s |
