When #USSRanger returned to Alameda in May 1968, its next stop was maintenance in Bremerton. In appreciation for the extended deployment, Capt Donnelly allowed families (even babies!), cars, belongings - anything - along for the ride #VietnamVeteransDay #HonorUSSRanger

In Jan 1968 after the seizure of #USSPueblo, #USSRanger was diverted to the Sea of Japan during #OperationFormationStar. It's much colder than there the South China Sea. The sailors nearly froze & their deployment was extended #VietnamVeteransDay

[SaveTheRanger @SaveUSSRanger]

Honoring all of our Vietnam veterans, especially those who served on #USSRanger on #VietnamVeteransDay #HonorUSSRanger 🇺🇸⚓️

.@museumships @StocktonHistory the USS Lucid MSO-458 being restored by The Stockton Historical Maritime Museum supposedly installed the helm from the #USSRanger CVA-61 that was stolen by @USSMidwayMuseum when they ransacked our ship as @SaveUSSRanger worked for our own museum.

Rest in Peace Col "Greg" Gregory @usairforce, who commanded the 1964 U-2 mission on #USSRanger. I had the honor to meet him twice. He was a hero and a true gentleman. Fair winds and following seas and thank you, Colonel 🇺🇸 #greatestgeneration https://t.co/FI8hF0L09e
