Launch of destroyer 30 -- Tokyo (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• TVL1970 said:

  Mutsuki-class IJN Destroyer No. 30, upon launching on October 6, 1926, at Ishikawajima Shipyard, Tokyo. She'd be re-named IJN Nagatsuki (DD-30), in August 1928. Nagasutki would ultimately be holed, beached, and destroyed at Kolombangara in July 1943, during the Battle of Kula Gulf. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_destroyer_Nagatsuki_(1926)

  Thanks TVL1970. We'll add this information to the catalog record.

Launch of Saratoga (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• TVL1970 said:

  USS Saratoga (CV-3) was initially laid down as a battlecruiser (USS Saratoga (CC-3)), While under construction she'd be converted into an aircraft carrier (along with the namesake of the class, USS Lexington (CV-2)), due to the limitations of the 1922 Washington Naval Conference. She was launched at New York Shipbuilding, Camden, NJ, on April 7, 1925. She'd go one to have one of the most distinguished battle records of any American warship. Eventually, she would be used as a test target and sunk by the detonation of an atomic device at Bikini Atoll on July 25, 1946, during Operation Crossroads.
