Lexington (CV-2)

Saratoga (CV-3)

The Lexington and the Saratoga were originally members of the six ship Lexington class battlecruisers. All were cancelled by the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922, but two were completed as aircraft carriers. For many years these vessels would be the largest, most heavily armored carriers in the world.
