Comments:
I met the Ranger at Subic Bay in March of 1968. I remember going to Korea
right after with the Pueblo incident. After that the ship was in the Tonkin
gulf off the coast of Viet Nam. Quite the experience for a "kid of 18" from
a small town in the Midwest...

I was ACOMMO 1989-1991. Made most of the 89 cruise and the entire Desert
Storm Cruise in 91. Some of my best memories from the Navy are from those
years on RANGER. There is nothing like a common mission to pull an entire
crew together, and the Desert Storm conflict surely did that. RANGER's crew
was the best I served with in 21 years in the Navy. From the CO (Ernie
Christensen) on down to the deck plates, it was a real pleasure to be
aboard the TOP GUN of the Pacific and work with all those professionals.
Hope the years have been good to everyone, they have to me. Wishing
everyone who served in RANGER a wonderful "ALOHA".

Serving aboard the Ranger was my most memorable sea duty. Along with being
the most clean and squared away ship I have ever been on, she was the most
exciting. Just want to give a yell at all the S-8 division personnel and

I have verry fond feelings for her that is where I was At for the fire of
#1 aux and when the reduction gear was tore up. I also was there for her
sea trials after refit to navy dist. fuel. I started my tour as a D.C. 3
and finishd as a htfn. then I was discharged in S.D. after the war. I then
wenton to become a CAPT. un the merchant marine. Thanks to that ship and
all that we went through I know that I am a better CAPT. and I have better
understanding of life. Also I would like to say thank you for setting up
this site. I did not know anything about her since 71. Again THANK YOU

This is an awesome website - a great place to visit. My time on the Ranger
was the best two years of my life (prior to meeting my wife). Worked the
68-69 cruise in the medical outpatient clinic and the 69-70 cruse in the
hospital ward. The Ranger had several special visitors while I was on
board: Billy Graham, Neil Armstrong, Bob Hope with a troupe of some great
looking women. Liberties at Pearl Harbor, Subic Bay, Yokusuka, Sasebo, and
Hong Kong can never be forgotten.

Well, it has been over 30 years and I'm getting to that stage.... Spent all
afternoon going thru the over 1000 entries and saw No body identifying
themselves as being from S7! Very interesting to learn a bit more about the
history of Ranger. We also had a fire just as we reported to Yankee
Station, it was down below S7 Division #2MMR-auxiliary if I remember
correctly. No fatalities (and I'm sorry to hear about the later fire where
there were. My condolences to those of you involved) but the event did make
me appreciate the training, drilling, training, because we might not
survived had we not had so much training, drilling, training. Very much an
influence on my life, even 'till today. Would love to hear from S7 division
folks from any date. Remember the CRPI?

I was Radarman in OI Division. I made West Pac cruise's in 1966 and
1967/68. I have nothing but fond memories and often think of Leo B
McCuddin, my first skipper. I remember Captain McCuddin driving the liberty
bus back from liberty. I think it was in Yokosuka but time has clouded that
a bit. I would dearly love to wander the decks of Ranger one more time. The
smell of CIC, the chow hall and how can we forget gedunk. No one outside
the Navy brother/sisterhood knows what gedunk is. Best wishes to you all.

Great memories during West Pac! If I had to do everything over again, I
would not change a thing except for keeping in contact with all my buddies.

Iwas onboard the Ranger for two west pacs attached to va-113, flying a-7
aircraft known as the stingers. Also saved a shipmates life prior to
pulling into Pearl Harbor, he walked in front on the intake on the A-7
which started to injest the sailor I quickly pulled him out by his legs and
got him down to sickbay. My time onboard the Ranger was memoriable and
enjoyable, would like to get to Bremmington and walk the ship again. If
anybody was on the cruise when i saved the shipmate please get in touch,
looking for shipmates.

I served on the Ranger when it was in the ship yard at Bremerton. I worked
with the Fire control systems. The boat went back to San Diego in mid 1978
and I was discharged in August. I made many friends while on this ship and
did not see a west pac cruise. I did one west pac cruise on the Vancouver
LPD2. I was able to cross the equator twice on the Vancouver. I had fond
memories while serving in th Navy!

I served In s-7 as Dp. I did a West-Pac in 74, I visited Po-City (alot) and
had a great time. (what little I remember). I watched a Sea King get shot
out of the sky during the ships birthday by an f4. Things I would not have
seen had I stayed home. I cleaned toilets and grew-up on the Ranger like
alot of guys did. That was a long time ago but I still tell stories about
it, and I remember my shipmates
