USS Saratoga CV-3 (1929)

Check out USS Saratoga CV-3 in 1929, the elevator next to the island was the shape of a T. The poor layout made launching a full airwing strike difficult, as the first group of planes would often waste excessive fuel circling while waiting for the remaining aircraft to be cycled up from the hangar. #usssaratoga #cv3 #boneyardsafari #navalsafari #aviationsafari
