Did you serve aboard the USS Ranger, if so when? 69-71
What Division or Squadron were you in?
Comments:
I would enjoy hearing from shipmates during the time I was onboard Ranger.
Some one may recall that the Lone Ranger and Tonto were ambushed one time
during an unrep. Can't recall all the details but there was a Chief Gunners
Mate involved. I retired from the Navy in 1978 as a Senior Chief
Electricans Mate.

It made me feel old when I heard of her decom. She was the newest and most

flight deck - got traped behind a hot F8 and almost went swimming.

My name is Traci Vasquez, My husband PN1 Vasquez,Armando served on the USS
Ranger until it was decommissioned and I am looking to find the cruise book
that some how got lost or stolen. My husband has a lot of good memories
from that ship. He saw the world for the very first time on the deck of
that ship which has set a tone for the rest of his Navy career. He enjoys
what he does for the Navy and I know he would like to share his experience
with our children. I would like to replace his cruise book for him and if
anyone has an extra one they can spare or know where I myself can locate
one I would really appreciate it. Please contact me at traci1990@cs.com
Thank you, Mrs. Traci Vasquez Navy Wife

Nice web site. I served on the Ranger 1979-1983 in V-2 division ( Arresting
Gear ). I see the Ranger all the time up here in Washington. It is really
sad watching it decay, and or, parted out. Time has really ran away--seems
like yesterday I was 19 and in the I.O. on the Ranger flight deck during
the Iran hostage crisis. Arresting Gear was without a doubt the hardest job
of my life. I ended up retiring from the Air Force as a C-141 Flight
Engineer. I will always hold to the great memories of the Ranger and all
the friends that I made during my service.

Good boat and good crew. She is now in Bremerton shipyard about 100 miles
from my home and it appears like a developer from San Diego wants to build
a park and convention center in Port Angeles Washington and he wants to buy
the RANGER and move her to the site. Hoorah, maybe she won't be blades
after all. I know she kept me safe til the end of the war. I was there for
the end of the war carrier formation pictures taken by one of our
VIGILANTIES on a fly over. A very impressive bird.Will try to keep your web
page posted for results on the sale and move of RANGER BOAT

4 years served on "Top Gun", and enough excitement & memories to last for
many years...Port Calls (Pattaya Beach,Australia,Singapore,Kenya,and of
course good old PI & pearl)....events (Iran Hostage Crisis, 4 main fire,
and a few others)...astonishing to put it mildly,that with the heavy travel
domestic & foreign I do (I'm a Program & Quality Engineer)...I have yet to
cross paths with even one Rangerman from this time period...she was a proud
ship, with equally proud men...

I came aboard the Ranger when it had just pulled into Alameda from coming
around the horn from the east coast. I had never seen anything so big in my
life. I was asigned to E-Division in the electric power shop that was right
next to the mach shop. I went on 3 cruises to the far east on her. I was
discharged from the Ranger in alameda in May of 1962. Almost 4 years abourd
her. It was a great time and a time I tell my kids and now grand kids about.

Comments:
I really enjoyed reading everyones comments. I came on board in Japan as
the Ranger was returning from west pac. Then we went through a major
overhaul at Bremerton, and then back overseas to enjoy all that membership
in the Gulf of Tonkin entails. Subic Bay, Hong Kong,Korea in January,
Febuary, March of 68 for the Pueblo crisis, then to Japan for R and R, then
home to Alameda, and back to Bremerton, where I left the Navy in June. I
was an I.C.Electrician in E-4 division and in charge of the sound powered
telephone shop, which at that time, was located in the forward emergency
generator room. I have a lot of fond (and some not so fond)memories of navy
life, the best of being fellow crewmen, and a great Chief Petty Officer,
who pulled me out of a few scrapes. THANKS.

Just checking in. Was a Blue Shirt than later a Yellow Shirt in V-1 Div.
Worked in Fly-One. saw a couple of Womens names in a web sight called
"Classmates" Who claim to have been on the Ranger during the mid 60's???
Where were they hiding. There were no Waves (remember they used to be) or
WMs on War Ships in those days. Possible misspelling of the names. Tammara
Scott, Rhonda Ritter, Dee Vohees???!! What I miss most of all was standing
pier watches (mid watch) guarding the dumpsters overseas with a 30 Cal.
Carbine which we weren't allowed to put bullets in because we were
kid/sailors and only Marines were allowed to handle weapons. (grin) You
guys know what I'm talking about. Forward Brow watch was where Officer came
up to the ship and a Marine in Dress Blues with an M-1 stood guard. After
hours a Sailor with a little billyclub (did that too) stood guard there.
Guess they were afraid we might shoot ourselves in the foot??
