A strong heritage The name Saratoga is as rich as our nations independence USS Saratoga ICV 601. the sixth ship to bear the name. was launched in Brooklyn . NY. on October 8. 1955. In 1957. after a visit by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Saratoga participated in NATO's Operation Strikeback in the Norvveigian Sea. In 1958. she was called to the waters off Jordan during the Jordanian Crisis. During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Saratoga patrolled off the coasts of Cuba near Guantanamo Bay. In 1967. Saratoga was on station off the coast of Lebanon during the Six Day War . She remained in the area until the end of the conflict. In 1968, the cauiier underwent its first L..---4, minor overhaul at Philadelphia Naval Ship- yard. The new decade found Saratoga off Lebanon during the Jordanian Civil War. Successful testing of the CV concept aboard Saratoga in 1971 resulted in all carriers adding the role of anti-submarine warfare to their historical power projec- tion and air defense roles. In 1972, Saratoga experienced combat in the Tonkin Gulf during Vietnam opera- tions. Mediterranean deployments 12, 13 14. 15 and 16 filled the latter half of the '70s for Saratoga and her crew. On October 1, 1980, Saratoga became the first carrier to undergo the 28-month Service Life Extension Program CSLEPJ when she entered Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. On April 16, 1986, she returned from an eight-month, extended deployment which included operations in the Atlantic, Medi- terranean and Indian Oceans. Highlights of the deployment included the capture of the Achille Lauro hijackers, the first night transit of the Suez Canal by a carrier, and the Freedom of Navigation operations in the vicinity of Libya. Aircraft from Saratoga participated in retaliatory strikes against Libyan surface-to-air missile sites and armed Libyan patrol boats in the Gulf of Sidra. Deployment 19 took Saratoga back to the Mediterranean where she spearheaded Operation Friendship . a French-Ameri- can military and cultural exchange. Deployment 20, her most recent, took Saratoga to the waters of the Red Sea on an extended deployment as part of the multi-national force in support of Opera- tion Desert Shield and the ensuing Op- eration Desert Storm which resulted in the rapid and overwhelming defeat of the Iraqi invaders and their retreat from Kuwait. crrY WITH A MISSION 23
