"Hello! I am Saratoga, an aircraft carrier. Admiral, please call me Sara. Experiment? Crossroads? What do you mean?"

USS Saratoga returns from the depths of Bikini Atoll to serve the USN once again under the Forrestal Class. Big Sis, rendered with her 1960's era F4 Phantoms and 'Lex' the rooster*, joins the fictional modern fleet of the 20th and 21st Century.

*Lex the Rooster is based on the bird of the ship's badge, from its motto: "Invictus Gallus Gladiators". I chose the name Lex to retain Sara's past history as a Lexington Class aircraft carrier.

//Parts of the dialogue translation is taken from Saratoga's section in the Kancolle English Wikia (Fandom) & information about her service is sourced from Wikipedia (USS Saratoga CV-60 article). Happy July 4th!
