Artist's commentary
Victorious (Eagle Union)
Victorious was dispatched to the Pacific from January to September 1943 in response to a request from the US Navy, which was suffering from a shortage of aircraft carriers.
At this time, she was officially given the USS Robin name as a US aircraft carrier. It looks like Robin from Robin Hood. Aren't you a robin...
After undergoing anti-aircraft armament enhancements and facelifts at Norfolk and Pearl Harbor, Victorious was mainly engaged in transporting carrier-based squadrons, and was devoted to supporting Saratoga. She seems to have escaped full-scale frontline operations because Japan did not attack her.
When viewed from the side, it looks like the US Navy's Major 21 camouflage, but it is characterized by the camouflage partially remaining on the flight deck.
I have a photo of Noumea next to Saratoga, so I chose this composition.
From Saratoga's point of view, her older sister and sisters were sunk across the board, and the only remaining, Enterprise is also in dock. You must have been very careful.
She is a commemoration that made a plastic model for the time being following Belfast. If you are interested, please take a look at the documentary photos of the actual ship at the time and when I did my homework ↓

You can see that she has a TBF and an F4F, but the latter has two types of paint, and the three-color camouflage seems to be a Martlet designed for the UK.
