| *It is possible that the UNSC ''Saratoga'' was named in honor of the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Saratoga|Battle of Saratoga]], which occurred during the [[Wikipedia:American Revolutionary War|American Revolution]], therefore carrying on a lineage of [[Wikipedia:USS Saratoga|United States Navy ships]] named in honor of the battle. | | *It's possible that the UNSC ''Saratoga'' was named after the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Saratoga|Battle of Saratoga]] during the [[Wikipedia:American Revolutionary War|American Revolution]], therefore carrying on a lineage of [[Wikipedia:USS Saratoga|U.S. Navy ships]] honoring the battle. |
| *Like the ''Grafton'' and the [[UNSC Savannah|''Savannah'']], the ''Saratoga'' did not have its [[hull classification symbol]] painted on its bow. | | *Like other Heavy Frigates seen during the Fall of Reach, the ''Saratoga'' does not have its [[hull classification symbol]] painted on its bow. |
