Currently all of the Foreign Ships available in LSC/Construction requires a ship from the same country and unless Devs release a USN ship outside of an Event, I don't think Saratoga will be available in LSC unless they just outright allow you to craft her with non-USN ship.

Unless Devs will pull a dick move by giving Saratoga the Kai Ni, but not release her in non-event contents. OAO;; if it's Sara Maru, most likely she will not need BP and/or catapult for two reasons:

- she was historically refitted as a night carrier in preps for Iwo Jima; but in-game, if they choose to do yasen airstrike version, there's the possibility of her in-game CV(n)-3 kai ni having a lowered plane capacity of 70 (53 F6F-5 and 17 TBM irl)

-proto catapult won't be necessary as historically, every USN CV from Lexington onward had catapults into the design.

and remodel level could be as high as Zuikaku K2A and Zara due...

Akagi or Kaga are also possibilities (thinks back to Akagi's food bowl seasonal art, featuring red-and-black garb)
