The ship would be involved in several skirmishes and assisted in the capture of other vessels. Later, the ship would be sent on assignment to the Caribbean. It would be during this assignment that the Saratoga would meet her demise. While on escort duty within the region the Saratoga encountered and captured two vessels operating within the region.

U.S.S. Saratoga
USS Saratoga, named for the Battle of Saratoga, was a corvette built in Vergennes, Vermont for service during the War of 1812. The Saratoga began her service on Lake Champlain as England was focusing attention on North America, using a series of raids along the American coast to support a ground invasion from Canada. The presence of Saratoga delayed these plans, leading the British military to postpone their plans. This delay allowed the Saratoga to lead a blockade of the Richelieu River.The Saratoga would be an instrumental component of the Battle of Plattsburgh wherein Commandant Thomas Macdonough, commander of American naval forces on Lake Champlain, used the Saratoga to lead an assault upon the British forces located there. After a fierce confrontation, the Saratoga and its fleet were victorious against the British vessels and retreated to Canada. This weakened the British position, helped to restore American morale, and led to a lasting peace.
After the war, Saratoga was decommissioned and later sold.

Saratoga and her crew are rescued following the probe's departure; however, due to the length of time that the ship has been immobilized, Captain Alexander had been forced to place herself and her crew in suspended animation to survive. Due to her ingenuity, Captain Alexander and the crew of the Saratoga received a commendation for their service. The Saratoga would later be transferred to the Diplomatic Corps, where it was instrumental in helping to nurture the First Khitomer Accord.
The Saratoga was destroyed during the Tomed Incident of 2311 and its remains were towed to the Qualor II Surplus Depot for scrap. Despite this, the Saratoga would remain undisturbed until the year 2368 when the Saratoga's remains were discovered to have been illegally salvaged by the Ferengi. Due to the loss of the USS Saratoga NCC-31911 at the Battle of Wolf 359, Starfleet Command directed that the Saratoga be restored to serve as a museum ship at the Fleet Museum at Athan Prime in honor of its lost descendant, including having its appearance altered to replicate the later vessel.

U.S.S. Saratoga NCC-31911
USS Saratoga was the second Miranda Class and third Starfleet vessel to be named in honor of the American Revolutionary War Battle of Saratoga. Constructed at Copernicus Shipyards on Luna, the Saratoga has become one of the most well known vessels in the history of Starfleet.Launched in 2325 during the Federation's glory days of exploration, the Saratoga was assigned to scientific and survey operations in the Alpha Quadrant. During its assignments, the Saratoga would become a familiar sight within the region and would frequently scout planetary systems along the outer rim territories of the Federation. During one such survey, the Saratoga would be instrumental in the response to the Betreka Nebula Incident in 2328, where the vessel offered support to the stricken Klingon vessel IKS Wo'bortas and the Cardassian vessel Sontok. Despite their efforts, the Saratoga's assistance offered little in the means of stabilizing relations between either party with the Federation.
After having served in both the Cardassian and Tzenkethi Conflicts, the Saratoga was assigned to supply missions within the Core Sectors of the Federation. It was this assignment that would lead the Saratoga to be assigned to assist with defending the Federation from Borg invasion in early 2367. The Saratoga and 39 other starships assembled at Wolf 359 to intercept and detour the Borg Cube from travelling to Earth. Mere moments into the battle, the Cube focused its attack upon the Saratoga and captured the vessel into its tractor beam. Using its exotic weaponry, the Borg quickly overwhelmed the Saratoga and caused heavy damage to the craft, leading to antimatter containment failure. The ship would be destroyed soon after with mass casualties among its crew and passengers.

U.S.S. Saratoga NCC-83007
In 2381, the Romulan Star Empire's home system was threatened by the Romulan star threatening to go supernova. This led the Romulan government to request the assistance of the United Federation of Planets in evacuating the area, resulting in the construction of ten thousand Wallenberg Class vessels to help in the evacuation. The USS Saratoga was one of the first Wallenberg Class starships launched and is the fifth Starfleet vessel to be named in honor of the American Revolutionary War Battle of Saratoga but, unlike its predecessor, she was not named in honor of the Miranda Class USS Saratoga NCC-31911.Placed under the command of Tellarite Lieutenant Commander Kushnunn Thirnn, the Saratoga's mission was not without controversy as many within the Federation were angry that their government had had agreed to devote considerable resources to aid an enemy. Paired with a flotilla of 24 of its sister ships during the evacuation, Saratoga made several trips to the Maelstrom Sector to deliver refugees to colonies established in the Albreia, Itari, and Tevron systems. In early 2385, Saratoga took significant damage during a terrorist attack while transporting Reman refugees and had return to Utopia Planitia for repairs.
The Saratoga was drydocked at Utopia Planitia Shipyards during First Contact Day 2385 when multiple A500 androids, numerous synthetic ships, and the conscripted Mars Defense Perimeter began an attack. Saratoga was brought online and deployed to rescue personnel; however, a contingent of A500 androids were still aboard the Saratoga and killed the vessel's crew. Saratoga would then be used to attack the Mars Orbital Facility, colliding with and destroying the station.
