USS Lexington (CV-2)

  The handwritten inscription on the photo is incorrect. This is USS Lexington (CV-2), not USS Saratoga (CV-3). Note Lexington's characteristic black horizontal stripe at the top of her funnel and her spotlight platforms mounted higher on the funnel than on her sister ship Saratoga.

  This is also Saratoga. See my comments on the previous photo, "CV-2, USS Lexington, making speed 2" regarding why.
