==Service history==
==History==
On [[2552#August|August 12, 2552]], during the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]], the ''Saratoga'', as well as the {{UNSCShip|Grafton}}, provided air support for UNSC forces engaging the [[Covenant]] on the ground. Though ''Grafton'' was destroyed when a {{Pattern|Sh'wada|supercarrier}}, ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'', emerged from [[Active camouflage|cloak]], ''Saratoga'' narrowly escaped.{{Ref/Reuse|tip}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVGGrafton}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*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.

*Like the ''Grafton'' and the [[UNSC Savannah|''Savannah'']], the ''Saratoga'' did not have its [[hull classification symbol]] painted on its bow.
