[i][[Azur Lane]][/i]'s personification of the US Navy aircraft carrier USS [i]Saratoga[/i] (CV-3). 
Character designed by [[Saru]], voiced by [[Uesaka Sumire]].

h4. Appearance
[tn]See post #2895385 for base.[/tn]

A jarringly young-looking girl with an equally childish and girly personality. She has [[long hair|long]], [[pink hair]] in [[twintails]] with an [[ahoge]] while wearing a [[hairband]] with a [[smokestack]]-like accessory. She wears a [[backless outfit|backless-like]], [[sleeveless dress]] with a [[black ribbon]] on it, and an attached cannon. Underneath it was a [[military uniform]] with an [[armband]]. She also wears [[black pantyhose]] and [[elbow gloves]] as well as carrying a [[staff]] with a [[flight deck]]-like banner. She has [[small breasts]] that she's conscious of compared to the much more endowed [[illustrious (azur lane)|Illustrious]] and [[Ranger (azur lane)|Ranger]]. The fact that she has them at all tends to be forgotten by others, including her own artist, [[Saru]] as seen in a number of her skins.

For her retrofit form, see [[Saratoga (retrofit) (azur lane)|the corresponding page]]. 

h4. Gameplay

In game, she can be constructed or obtained as a free bonus when the player makes their first purchase; the lowest that can be spent being 120 yen (about $1 in US dollars). Gameplay-wise, Saratoga is merely decent (though her and her sister's kits lend themselves to mob clearing fleets) and there are a good amount of shipgirls that outclass her. However, later on she gains a [[retrofit (azur lane)|retrofit]] that can go toe-to-toe against [[Enterprise (azur lane)|]] in terms of utility and skill usage.

h4. Trivia

Her namesake is the "Battle of Saratoga":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Saratoga of the American Revolutionary War. She was the fifth of six US ships named [i]Saratoga[/i]. Her crew nicknames were [i]Sister Sara[/i] and [i]Sara Maru[/i].
