Re: Aircraft Carriers: USS Saratoga CV3
The USN seemingly got the best Treaty deal for carriers with the LEXINGTON and SARATOGA compared to RN. or IJN. It is to bad the SARA seemed a torpedo magnet, thereby keeping her our of several major battles....like Midway. The IJN torpedoes were a deadly weapon. The damage shown in 2 of the torpedo hits testify to that.
Despite that SARA and "USS ROBIN" did get in some licks vs. Japanese. DFO
