Named after the Battle of Saratoga. On 17 October 1777, a British Army led by General John Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga, N.Y., to American troops under General Horatio Gates. This was the first significant American military victory during the Revolutionary War and induced France to recognize the independence of the United States and enter the war as America's ally. Four previous US warships had borne this name. Ordered in the spring of 1917 and laid down as a Lexington-class Battle Cruiser. Designated CC-3. Construction suspended on 8 February 1922. Conversion to an aircraft carrier authorized on 1 July 1922. Redesignated CV-3. Re-ordered as an aircraft carrier in the fall of 1922. Fate: Expended as a target at Bikini Atoll atomic bomb tests (Operation Crossroads), 25 July 1946.
