USS RANGER VIETNAM TO DESERT STORM

The seventh USS Ranger (CV/CVA-61) is one of four Forrestal-class supercarriers built for theUS Navy in the 1950s. Although all four ships of the class were completed with angled decks,Ranger had the distinction of being the first US carrier built from the beginning as an angleddeck ship.

Commissioned in 1957, she served extensively in the Pacific, especially the Vietnam War, for which she earned 13battle stars. Near the end of her career she also served in the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf.

Ranger appeared on television in The Six Million Dollar Man, Baa Baa Black Sheep and in the films Top Gun, Star TrekIV: The Voyage Home (standing in for the carrier USS Enterprise), and Flight of the Intruder.

General W illiam Westmoreland, commanding the Military Advisory Command in Vietnam,visited Ranger on 9 March 1965 to confer with Rear Admiral Miller. Ranger continued airstrikes on enemy inland targets until 13 April when a fuel line broke, ignited and engulfed herNo. 1 main machinery room in flames. The fire was extinguished in little over an hour. Therewas one fatality. She put into Subic Bay 15 April and sailed on the 20th for Alameda, arrivinghome on 6 May. She entered the San Francisco Naval Shipyard 13 May and remained thereunder overhaul until 30 September.

Following refresher training, Ranger departed Alameda on 10 December 1965 to rejoin the 7thFleet. She and her embarked Carrier Air W ing 14 received the Navy Unit Commendation forexceptionally meritorious service during combat operations in Southeast Asia from 10 Januaryto 6 August 1966.

On 21 July 1967, she logged her 88,000th carrier landing. From June until November, Rangerunderwent a long and intensive period of training designed to make her fully combat ready.

Attack Carrier Air W ing 2 (CVW-2) embarked on 15 September 1967, with the new A-7 CorsairII jet attack plane and the UH-2C Seasprite rescue helicopter, making Ranger the first carrierto deploy with these powerful new aircraft. From carrier refresher training for CVW-2, Rangerproceeded to fleet exercise “Moon Festival.” From 9 to 16 October, the carrier and her air wingparticipated in every aspect of a major fleet combat operation.

Arriving on station 3 December 1967, Ranger commenced another period of sustained combatoperations against North Vietnam. During the next five months, her planes hit a wide varietyof targets, including ferries, bridges, airfields and military installations. Truck parks, railfacilities, antiaircraft guns and SAM sites were also treated to doses of Air W ing 2′sfirepower.

Bob Hope’s Christmas Show came to Ranger in Tonkin Gulf on 21 December. Another welcomebreak in the intense pace of operations came with a call at Yokosuka during the first week ofApril. Returning to Yankee Station on 11 April, Ranger again struck objectives in NorthVietnam.

At the end of January 1968 USS Pueblo was seized by North Korea. Ranger turned north andproceeded at full speed from the tropical waters off Vietnam to the frigid waters off NorthKorea. The ship had been on the combat line in Vietnam for one month and was due to for anR&R.

At the conclusion of the North Korea deployment the ship had been at sea for 65 days. Thecarrier stopped at the small Japanese port of Sasebo for several days, then proceeded back tocombat operations.

She departed Alameda on yet another WestPac deployment in October 1969 as flag ship forRear Admiral J.C. Donaldson, Commander Carrier Division Three, and Captain J.P. Moorer ascommanding officer and remained so employed until 18 May 1970.

During this time the ship spent at least two extended periods on Yankee Station, the longestbeing 45 days, due to mechanical problems with the carrier that was to relieve her. Apleasant break in the lives of Ranger’s crew came with the arrival of the Bob Hope show on 24December 1969.

Upon leaving Yankee after one tour and on the way to Sasebo, Japan, Ranger was ordered tostand off the coast of Korea for 3 days due to North Korea forcing down a US C-130 andholding the crew. Initially Ranger was to leave the line on Yankee Station for a week of R&Rin Subic Bay while offloading supplies, then to Japan and on to Australia and home.

She was ordered to hold on station and fly the first sorties on Cambodia. Finally leavingYankee Station, Ranger made a fast 3-day offload in Subic Bay and a two-day port call inSasebo and back to Alameda BEFORE departing for her sixth WestPac cruise in late October1970.

On 10 March 1971, Ranger, along with Kitty Hawk (CV-63), set a record of 233 strike sortiesfor one day in action against North Vietnam

During April, the three carriers assigned to Task Force 77 – Ranger, Kitty Hawk, and Hancock– provided a constant two-carrier posture on Yankee Station.

Hours of employment remained unchanged with one carrier on daylight hours and one on thenoon to midnight schedule. Strike emphasis was placed on the interdiction of major Laotianentry corridors to South Vietnam.

After five months of intensive operations, Ranger called at Hong Kong 5 May 1968 and thensteamed for home. There followed a shipyard availability at Puget Sound that ended withRanger’s departure 29 July for San Francisco.

Three months of leave, upkeep and training culminated in another WestPac deployment 26October 1968 through 17 May 1969.

On 18 December 1972 Linebacker II operations were initiated when negotiations in the Parispeace talks stalemated. Participating carriers were Ranger, Enterprise (CVN-65), Saratoga(CV-60), Oriskany (CV-34), and America (CV-66).

The Linebacker II operations ended on 29 December when the North Vietnamese returned to the peace table. Theseoperations involved the resumed bombing of North Vietnam above the 20th parallel and was an intensified version ofOperation Linebacker.

The reseeding of the mine fields was resumed and concentrated strikes were carried outagainst surface-to-air missile and antiaircraft artillery sites, enemy army barracks, petroleumstorage areas, Haiphong naval and shipyard areas, and railroad and truck stations. Navytactical air attack sorties under Linebacker II were centered in the coastal areas around Hanoiand Haiphong.

There were 505 Navy sorties in this area during Linebacker II. Between 18 and 22 Decemberthe Navy conducted 119 Linebacker II strikes in North Vietnam. Bad weather was the mainlimiting factor on the number of tactical air strikes flown during Linebacker II.

On 27 January 1973, the Vietnam cease-fire, announced four days earlier, came into effect and Oriskany, America,Enterprise, and Ranger, on Yankee Station, cancelled all combat sorties into North and South Vietnam.

On 19 December 1992, Ranger was relieved on station by Kitty Hawk and began her last
