USS Ranger at sea
The Ranger at sea, August 1961. Note that she still had her forward 5" mounts.

USS Ranger, USS Kitty Hawk and USS Constellation in San Diego
Ranger, Kitty Hawk and Constellation in San Diego. Was this about 1985? It looks suspiciously like the day time shots in the movie, "Star Trek: The Voyage Home." Ranger filled in for Enterprise in this movie as well as the movie "Top Gun."

Tied up in Bremerton, WA, Ranger rests alongside her sisters, Independence, Kitty Hawk and Constellation. All is quiet onboard.
The USS Ranger Foundation is working to change that. The goal, moving Ranger to Portland, OR, where she will become a museum where thousands will see a tribute to Ranger, the other super carriers and more. Read more about saving the Ranger at the Foundation site or a contribution of any size is greatly appreciated.
