Author David Doyle writes about the USS Saratoga (CV-3) aircraft carrier in Schiffer Books’ Legends Of Warfare Naval USS Saratoga (CV-3) From The 1920s-1930s And WWII Combat To Operation Crossroads.

As a kid one of my favorite types of model kits to assemble were aircraft carriers. The Saratoga was one of my favorites.

While an old aircraft carrier The Saratoga was considered a technological wonder when it was first constructed. 

Fast, well-armed and heavily-armored she survived several massive bombings but eventually was mothballed and used as a test ship in one of America’s first atomic bomb explosions.

She did not survive, but her legacy lives on.

For a full tour of the ship be sure to look over all the photographs, charts and behind the scenes coverage of her construction, deployment, crew accommodations, weaponry and combat capabilities.

There’s plenty of descriptive text, secrets revealed and fascinating history to read all about.
