Trivia time: Why does the Sara have a black stripe painted on her stack? (I know.) |

I assume the stripe was there because of striking physical similarity to the USS Lexington. |

In the 70's I worked with a fellow that was on the Saratoga. Wish we had talked more about it. He was the only survivor from his gunnery crew. |

Because she was visually identical to Lexington, a large black stripe was painted on her funnel to help sailors differentiate her, and it led to her nickname Stripe Stacked Sara. |
