I have:

pre 7-1-37

Lexington - yellow - VF2B
Ranger - green -  VF3B
Ranger - blue - VF5B
Saratoga - white - VF6B

post 7-1-37

Lexington - yellow -VF2
Yorktown - red - VF5
Ranger - green - VF4
Saratoga - white - VF3
Enterprise - blue - VF6
Wasp - black - VF7

Is this list in error?

Gotta be the F3F, but whether or not it is a -2 or -3 I cannot say.  It does not look like the FF1.
