Your Ranger was the second aircraft carrier to be so named in the US fleet.
The first Ranger, CV-4, commissioned 1934, was laid down as the first purpose built American carrier.
She was FAR smaller than the Lexington and Saratoga, and not nearly as capable.
During World War II she was the only one of the pre-war carriers not to see service in the Pacific. She was just too small. She made a good record for herself in the Atlantic, though, in anti-submarine warfare, as a training ship, and as an aircraft ferry.
