I'm an American-made large aircraft carrier, Saratoga. I was named after a specific event in history. During the great war, I fought my way to the very end. And after the war, I was involved in a certain experiment with Nagato and the others. From here on, I wish to do my best with everyone in this fleet! | Saratoga was named after the Battles of Saratoga, part of the American Revolutionary War.

Character
Appearance
- Unlike the majority of other carriers ingame that use bows, Saratoga uses a firearm integrated into her flight deck to launch planes. The weapon used is based off the Thompson submachine gun, one of the most iconic firearms of the 1920's, and most often referred to by monikers like the "Tommy Gun" and "Chicago Typewriter". Saratoga also carries two different magazines for the weapon, the standard straight 20-round magazine, and the "L" type drum magazines which can be seen carried on the inside of her skirt.
Personality
Notes
- Fall 2016 Event E-5 Clear Reward.
- Saratoga has the ability to engage in combat during Night Battles using her guns in her standard form.
- While she starts out with an attack range of Medium, her Kai remodel downgrades her to Short range.
Trivia
- USS Saratoga (CV-3) was the second of the Lexington-class ships, which were originally designed as battlecruisers until the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 necessitated their conversion into aircraft carriers. Nicknamed "Sister Sara" or "Sara Maru" by her crews, she served with distinction during the Second World War, being present in many major engagements including the Guadalcanal campaign, the New Georgia campaign, and the Battle of Iwo Jima, along with seeing combat in the Indian Ocean.
- Converted into a training ship in 1945 following battle damage from Iwo Jima, and used as a repatriation vessel at the end of the war. She would later be used as one of the ships present in the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests of 1946 in Bikini Atoll, where she sank after the Test Baker nuclear detonation.
- The letter E on Saratoga's funnel is a Battle Effectiveness Award granted to US Navy ships that demonstrate an exceptional state of combat readiness, and in Saratoga's case was awarded for Excellence in Engineering during exercises in 1938.
- Sunk the light carrier Ryuujou with her aircraft during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons on 24 August, 1942.
- Saratoga was one of only three pre war carriers of the United States Navy that survived World War Two, the other two being USS Enterprise and USS Ranger.
- The downgrade in Saratoga's attack range on remodel stems from the differences in firepower brought about by her refit; when originally built, Saratoga was equipped with four 8"/55 caliber gun turrets similar to those used by heavy cruisers of the time, due to the perceived importance of aircraft carriers having organic anti-ship weapons in the event of surface action. As the importance of anti-aircraft defenses rose along with the decreasing likelihood of carriers engaging in direct ship-to-ship combat, Saratoga was refitted in 1942 to have her 8-inch guns replaced with smaller dual-purpose 5"/38 caliber guns with anti-aircraft capability. These changes are visually present on Saratoga's rigging ingame, along with corresponding changes to her stats.
- Saratoga's standard pose of pushing her skirt down as it's blown upward by wind is most likely inspired by a famous and iconic pose by superstar Marilyn Monroe, taken from the movie "The Seven Year Itch".
- The coloration of her initial costume is based the USN Measure 1 camoflague scheme that she wore pre-1942, with her vertical surfaces in Light Gray while her wooden flight deck was left unpainted. Her kai-costume reflects the Measure 21 scheme that she wore from late-1942, with the flight deck darkened with Deck Blue.
