胜利号在美国(机翻未修) 在圣克鲁斯群岛的战斗中,“黄蜂号”被击沉,“企业号”号遭到严重破坏,美国海军只有一艘航母“萨拉托加号”(USS Saratoga)在太平洋作战。1942年12月下旬,在美国请求航母增援后,胜利号被借给了美国海军。她并没有像有时声称的那样被重新命名为“知更鸟”。美国航空公司使用了双音节的无线电呼号。“仙人掌”或“斯巴达”;凯旋使用了呼号“罗宾”。1943年1月,美国在诺福克海军造船厂进行改装,并增加了复仇者飞机,并于2月17日通过巴拿马运河,与美国在太平洋地区的部队合作。2月21日,她的机组人员遭受了白喉疾病的爆发,医疗用品也被空运给她。 1943年3月,凯旋门到达珍珠港,并配备了较重的避雷器电线,因为RN电线对格鲁曼复仇者飞机来说太轻了。另外还安装了机关枪。她于5月17日驶往西南太平洋,到达努美阿,新喀里多尼亚岛,并与萨拉托加号航空母舰组建航空母舰。她与特遣队14号(包括萨拉托加和北卡罗莱纳,马萨诸塞州和印第安纳州)立即进行了为期一周的突击,但没有联系。六架飞机失事。海军少将德威特·拉姆齐(DeWitt Ramsey)指挥了该部门,在6月进行了评估演习和巡逻,并确定获胜的战斗机有更好的战斗机控制,但由于飞机的重量,它对复仇者飞机的处理能力很差。因此,他将832中队的联邦航空局转移到萨拉托加和美国航空集团3号航空母舰上。此后,凯旋的主要角色是战斗机掩护,萨拉托加主要负责打击。6月27日,TF14被重新指定为任务组36.3,并为入侵新格鲁吉亚提供掩护(Operation Cartwheel的一部分)。在接下来的28天里,凯旋持续地在海上作战,这是一艘英国航空母舰的记录,以平均时速超过18节(33公里/小时),发射614架次,达到12223英里(需要澄清)。在7月25日返回Noumea,胜利被召回。虽然日本有四家航空公司,但他们并不打算按自己的利益行事,而且新一代的“性”班的前两艘船已经提前到达了珍珠港。凯旋于7月31日离开了珍珠港,留下了她的复仇者们作为萨拉托加的继任者,与战列舰印第安纳州的公司一起航行,并在途中发射了165艘反潜艇。她还带着美国飞行员完成了他们的行程,还有两名日本战俘。在圣地亚哥短暂停留后,胜利于8月26日通过巴拿马运河,并于9月1日抵达诺福克海军造船厂,在那里,专门的美国设备被移走。回到家后,她于1943年9月26日抵达克莱德的格林诺克,在那里飞机和商店都被释放,等待改装。USS Hornet was sunk and USS Enterprise was badly damaged at the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, leaving the United States Navy with only one fleet carrier, USS Saratoga, operational in the Pacific. In late December 1942, Victorious was loaned to the US Navy after an American plea for carrier reinforcement. She was not renamed "USS Robin" as sometimes claimed. US carriers used a two-syllable radio call sign, e.g. "Cactus" or "Spartan"; Victorious used the call sign "Robin". After a refit in the United States at the Norfolk Navy Yard in January 1943 and the addition of Avenger aircraft, Victorious passed through the Panama Canal on 17 February to operate with United States forces in the Pacific. Her crew suffered a diphtheria outbreak and medical supplies were dropped to her by air on 21 February. Victorious arrived at Pearl Harbor in March 1943 and was fitted with heavier arrester wires as RN wires had proved too light for the Grumman Avenger aircraft. Additional AA guns were also fitted. She sailed for the south-west Pacific, arriving Nouméa, New Caledonia, on 17 May to form Carrier Division 1 with USS Saratoga. She sortied immediately for a week with Task Force 14, including Saratoga and battleships North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Indiana sweeping against reported Japanese fleet activity, but without contact. Six aircraft were lost to accidents. Rear Admiral DeWitt Ramsey, commanding the Division, carried out evaluation exercises and patrol sweeps in June and determined that Victorious had superior fighter control but handled Avenger aircraft poorly because of their weight. Accordingly, he transferred 832 Squadron FAA on to the Saratoga and US Carrier Air Group 3 on to the Victorious. Thereafter, Victorious's primary role was fighter cover and Saratoga mainly handled strikes. On 27 June, TF14 was redesignated Task Group 36.3 and sailed to provide cover for the invasion of New Georgia (part of Operation Cartwheel). Victorious spent the next 28 days continuously in combat operations at sea, a record for a British carrier, steaming 12,223 miles[clarification needed] at an average speed over 18 knots (33 km/h) kts and launching 614 sorties. Returning to Nouméa on 25 July, Victorious was recalled home. Though the Japanese had four carriers to Ramsey's two, it seemed clear that they were not intending to press their advantage and the first two carriers of the new Essex-class had arrived at Pearl Harbor well ahead of schedule. Victorious left for Pearl Harbor on 31 July, leaving behind her Avengers as replacements for Saratoga, sailing in company with battleship Indiana and launching 165 anti submarine sweeps en route. She also carried US pilots finishing their tours as well as two Japanese POWs. After a brief stop in San Diego, Victorious passed through the Panama Canal on 26 August and arrived at Norfolk Navy Yard 1 September, where specialized US equipment was removed. Returning home, she arrived at Greenock on the Clyde on 26 September 1943 where aircraft and stores were discharged awaiting refit
