USS Ranger CV-61 Ball Cap

USS Ranger CV-4 Ball Cap

USS Ranger (CV-4) was the first ship of the United States Navy to be designed and built from the keel up as an aircraft carrier. Compared to later aircraft carriers, Ranger was a relatively small ship, closer to the first US carrier, USS Langley, in terms of tonnage. Initially it did not even possess an island; although a small one was added after construction. The only large carrier in the Atlantic Fleet, Ranger led the task force comprising herself and four escort carriers that provided air superiority during the amphibious invasion of Vichy French Morocco on the morning of 8 November 1942. It was still dark at 0615 that day, when Ranger, stationed 30 miles (50 km) northwest of Casablanca, began launching her aircraft to support the landings made at three points on the Atlantic coast of North Africa (Operation Torch). Nine of her F4F Wildcats attacked the Rabat and Rabat-Sale aerodromes, headquarters of the French air forces in Morocco. Without loss to themselves, they destroyed seven planes on one field, and 14 bombers on the other. Another flight destroyed seven planes on the Port Lyautey field. Some of Ranger's planes strafed four French destroyers in Casablanca harbor while others strafed and bombed nearby batteries. The carrier launched 496 combat sorties in the 3-day operation. Her attack aircraft scored two direct bomb hits on the French destroyer leader Albatros, completely wrecking her forward half and causing 300 casualties. They also attacked the French cruiser Primauguet as she sortied from Casablanca Harbor, dropped depth charges within lethal distance of two submarines, and knocked out coastal defense and anti-aircraft batteries. They destroyed more than 70 enemy planes on the ground and shot down 15 in aerial combat. But 16 planes from Ranger were lost or damaged beyond repair. It was estimated that 21 light enemy tanks were immobilized and some 86 military vehicles destroyed - most of them troop-carrying trucks.She remained on the eastern seaboard until decommissioned at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard 18 October 1946.
