While I was onboard the Ranger I worked in # 1 Aux. with Evap's and Gen.
Left the ship in Nov. 64 at sea. Was highlined off while we were refueling
and taking on Ammo. I THINK THE SHIP THAT WE WERE HIGHLIND ONTO WAS THE
CHIPOLA A OILER. The best ship un the 7th fleet. I had some of the best
years of my life on the Ranger. Would do it all over again if I could. Lets
all chip in and save her.

I have so many memories of those two WESTPAC cruises.There's not a day that
goes by that I don't think of some event or someone that I worked with.I
remember January 1968 when we were ordered to proceed from the Tonkin Gulf
to the Sea of Japan right after the North Koreans captured the USS
Pueblo.In four days we went from hot,humid weather and 80 degree water
temperatures to bitter cold and snowy conditions with water temps just
above freezing.It was several days after we arrived before the switch from
air conditioning to heat took place in the ship. I remember hitting the
rack and piling every piece of clothing on top of me to try and keep warm.
But when we reached the Sea of Japan we were ready to go to war with North
Korea. The transition from fighting in Viet Nam and a preparing for a
totally different war in four days was a tremendous effort and
accomplishment. I remember thinking that if we did launch against North
Korea that I hoped I wouldn't have to swim in that water. We were at sea
for 63 days, we flew every day under terrible conditions, landed on a
flight deck that was often coated with ice, and never lost a plane. Were we
happy to see Sasebo, Japan or what?! Wouldn't you know that a year later
almost to the day we were ordered back to the Sea of Japan from the Gulf of
Tonkin when the North Koreans shot down one of our EC-121's. I have been
associated with a lot of people since those great days aboard "Ranger"; but
none any more professional and dedicated as those 5000+ men that served
along with me.

Ihave been reassociated with the Ranger for a few years and appreciate John
Guy's sight and would like to thank him and his wife for putting my
pictures on this page. I also have a question for anyone. When were the
fuel crew shirts changed from red to purple? And whose idea was it to put a
big F on the back. That must have taken a bit to get used to.

Looking through the photos and the comments in the guestbook brings back a
lot of memories. I made two Westpac cruises, couldn't wait to get out and
go home, and now looking back, I'm thankful I had the opportunity to serve
this great country. I wouldn't trade that chapter in my life for anything.
Thanks for all your efforts putting this web site together.

Was an AE-3 with RVAH-5 making its first combat cruise. In late November
during night ops. 1964 I fell from flight deck to the hanger deck. Received
critical injuries but survived the trip. Today almost age 60 and like the
famous battery bunny still going on and on and on!!!!!!!!!! Anyone, out
there remember this incident? Also good web site, Thanks

I posted here a while back but figured I'd do it again to check in... I was
in the P3 Oil Lab for most of the time, and also worked in the valve shop
during drydock at Bremerton and for a while after we came down to San Diego
after that. By the time I was discharged in the middle of the 80 cruise my
general quarters station was "Smoke Watch", the best watch station in
Propulsion. I got to sit up on top of the smoke stacks. Great view of
flight operations, as many of you know because I used to invite up masses
of snipes to check it out. Saw alot of shooting stars on the quiet dark
nights. After those years of working in the hole and being soaked with fuel
and putting in long hours it's funny what sticks out in your mind. I'll
never forget the time we were taking on fuel and I was pumper supervisor
and we squirted the Chief Petty Officers quarters out the top of a sounding
tube. It wasn't too bad until the ship leaned the other way and hundreds of
gallons of fuel splashed across the very large room in a big wave. They
were pissed. I remember seeing flip flops floating in fuel. Never thought
we'd get that one cleaned up. Seeya.

Hey guys. I am looking for a buddy of mine that I went to most of my
training with. Ray Thompson from San Diego. In 1981 he wound up on the
Ranger for his first assignment, and I went to the America on the east
coast. I would like him to contact me if anyone knows him or if he sees
this. Thanks
