• Support The colors tell us about the materials of the ships of back then. 86.81.228.168 (talk) 10:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Support Moonlight567 (talk) it is good because there aren't many color pictures of the Saratoga.
• Oppose. Poor digitizing, way too small, and color does not add value. The see is blue the ship is gray, big deal. --Dschwen 01:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose There are better B&W photos already in the article. While this may be a rare color photo of the ship, its obviously a scan of a degradaded photo and doesn't really add any value to the article. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 04:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose not historic enough to be this small.D-rew (talk) 04:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose per Dschwen Mfield (talk) 12:03, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose per Dschwen, except I think it's the sea that's blue. ;-) Matt Deres (talk) 14:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose Noisy and artifacty, and it's just not a good-quality image. Juliancolton ^{The storm still blows...} 23:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
• Support Despite the critiques of others the image size and noise is something I could live with due to the relative rarity of pictures such as this. Even if the ship itself is not particularly famous (compared to some I mean), due to the lack of colour photos from the period it should be allowed. BigHairRef | Talk 00:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose There's noting particularly wrong about the photo, but I don't think that it meets the criteria as it's unclear and not very interesting. --Nick Dowling (talk) 09:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose I find it very unimpressive. Mangostar (talk) 23:28, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
