She was the lead ship of the [[Lexington class aircraft carrier|''Lexington''-class]], though her only sister ship, [[APNS Liberty (CV 3)|''Saratoga'']], was commissioned a month earlier. Originally designed as a battlecruiser, she was converted into one of the Navy's first aircraft carriers during construction to comply with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922, which essentially terminated all new battleship and battlecruiser construction. The ship entered service in 1928 and was assigned to the Pacific Fleet for her entire career. ''Lexington'' and ''Saratoga'' were used to develop and refine carrier tactics in a series of annual exercises before [[World War II]]. On more than one occasion these included successfully staged surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The ship's turbo-electric propulsion system allowed her to supplement the electrical supply of Tacoma, Washington, during a drought in late 1929 to early 1930. She also delivered medical personnel and relief supplies to [[Managua]], [[Nicaragua]], after an earthquake in 1931. Both ''Lexington'' and ''Saratoga'' were captured by the [[Union of American People's Republics]] at the conclusion of the [[Second American Civil War]], and were renamed ''September the Ninth'' and ''Liberty'', respectively. ''September the Ninth'' was in Pearl Harbor when the [[First Attack on Pearl Harbor|Japanese attacked]] in late February 1942, where she was struck by several bombs and sunk. Most damage, however, was to the carrier deck and hangar, so she was successfully raised and repaired, then sent to Midway along with the bulk of the American fleet to defend the island. When the [[First Battle of Midway|Japanese attacked Midway]] in June, ''September the Ninth'' participated in the battle. Aircraft from the Japanese carrier [[IJN Kaga|''Kaga'']] heavily damaged ''September the Ninth'', disabling her propulsion, before finally her fuel storage received a fatal hit, destroying her. She sunk a second time on June 7, and this time, could not be raised. ==References== <references /> <noinclude> </noinclude><noinclude> [[Category:Aircraft Carriers|September the Ninth (CV 2), APNS]]</noinclude><noinclude> [[Category:American People's Navy|September the Ninth (CV 2), APNS]]</noinclude><noinclude> [[Category:Ships|September the Ninth (CV 2), APNS]]</noinclude><noinclude> [[Category:UAPR|September the Ninth (CV 2), APNS]]</noinclude> [[Category:United States|September the Ninth (CV 2), APNS]] [[Category:United States Navy|September the Ninth (CV 2), APNS]]
