This is actually USS Saratoga (CV-3), note the lower mounted searchlight platforms on the starboard side of the funnel, as compared to her sister ship, USS Lexington (CV-2), whose searchlight platforms were mounted closer to the top of the funnel. It is easy to see why the Navy would subsequently paint a vertical stipe on Saratoga's funnel and a horizontal stripe at the top of Lexington's funnel to ease identification of the ships. Here's a SDASM photo of USS Lexington (CV-2) for comparison: www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/40227510871/

Agree, this is definitely Saratoga. In fact, it is taken on her initial transit to the pacific, 7 February 1928, and is in the collections of the USN at NARA under accession # 80-G-216837

The boat in the foreground is the USS C-4 (SS-15) (ex- USS Bonita) (note "C 4" on the bow). See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_C-4_(SS-15)

The Sunday Oregonian. (Portland, Ore.) , July 22, 1917, ran this photo with the caption: " It is not often that a submarine can be seen out of Its natural element; and when in that element, very little of it can be seen. Five American Submarines were photographed in the Gatun lock of the Panama Canal after it had been drained." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1917-07-22/ed-1/se...
