USS Saratoga (CV-3)


Mass "Aloha" on the carrier's flight deck, at Pearl Harbor, 10 September 1945, as 500 WAVES put leis around the necks of departing Sailors in traditional Hawaiian style. A resounding kiss sped each man on his way.
Saratoga was transporting Navy personnel back to the mainland for discharge.
