^--- I think this is a new photo for me. What's interesting to me is the angle of the photo. Was this picture taken out of the port lower side window just aft of the dorsal turret? this would mean the bombardier took the photo.

FIRST PICTURE OF LEX AND SARA TOGETHER

"Uncle Sam’s $100,000,000 sisters pose for their first picture together. The giant new airplane carriers Lexington (left), and Saratoga, tide up at the
Puget Sound Navy Yard at Bremerton, Wash., where they are undergoing engine readjustments to bring their speed up to the specified figure. This is
the first time since they were launched that the big ships have been close enough to be photographed together."

Evening Star (Washington DC), September 24, 1928

Note that Saratoga doesn't have her distinctive black stripe on the funnel. This was added after their first Fleet Problem participation in Jan 1929.
