USS Scorpion
The first attack was an actual naval battle between the destroyer USS Maddox and 3 North Vietnamese Navy torpedo boats (02 August '64). The second attack involved two destroyers on 04 August '64; the USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy. This 2nd sea engagement is questionable.
USN Destroyers USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy. Maddox was re-cycled (scrapped); Turner Joy is preserved as a memorial/museum in the state of Washington. Attacking Patrol torpedo Boats may have been North Vietnamese Navy P4's exported from Red China.

CVN-65 is the 65th Fleet Carrier designated to be built; some carriers were assigned a number and never buillt, consequently their number was skipped, so there were not 65 aircraft carriers built when #65 was constructed. CV-1 was the USS Langley (sunk during the time frame of the Battle of the Java Sea campaign); CV-2 was USS Lexington (sunk at the Battle of Coral Sea); CV-3 was USS Saratoga (sunk during atomic bomb testing in 1946); CV-4 was USS Ranger (only used in the Atlantic during the war, was deemed to risky to assign her to the Pacific/ulitimately scrapped); CV-5 USS Yorktown (sunk at Midway); CV-6 USS Enterprise (the USN's most decorated warship/scrapped); CV-7 USS Wasp (Sunk during the battle of Guadalcanal); CV-8 USS Hornet (sunk during the battle of the Santa Cruz Islands); etc. CV-63 was the USS Kitty Hawk, CV-64 was the USS Constellation, etc.
this is in the "Hawks" section. Not the "Aircraft Carrier" section. But to answer your question, no, the USS. Kitty hawk, and it's class of carriers is larger, and much younger than the Saratoga.
