N-808-B-305 Gudersnipe School Ship Saratoga, Glorious Heritage-Class Light Destroyer.
The Saratoga was the last ship off the line of the Glorious Heratige-Class production run. Though 350 were initially ordered, the run was stopped at 305, making the N-808-B-305 the very last. Scheduled for destruction or use in munitions tests, the 305 hull was taken to Utopia Gregaria and eventually lost.
Some years later, the incomplete hull was found and assigned to Hunter Jusenkyou
The Saratoga should not be confused with the Saratoga-B-class of light destroyers produced by the Gailen Fleet Revision.
