4fRANGER HISTORY iNASl'1k,ll. CGM HCS U AKG JC A century later a new line of Ranger's was born. These five decen- dents of Captain Jones' original sloop-of-war played very minor roles in Naval affairs. None of them were involved in any major actions and all saw only limited service. To be sure, the past five Ranger's had not exactly made their mark in history. Yet the name Ranger, now almost 150 years old, carried on. And as if to make up for her predecessors, the seventh Ranger was an aircraft carrier. Commissioned in 1934, Ranger VII was the first ship to be built from the keel up as an aircraft carrier. She was built smaller and shorter than her sister ships, CV-2 and 3, but she could still carry some 80 aircraft. Her overall length was 770 feet and she displaced 14,500 tons. Her screws could propel her through the water at over 29 knots. Ex- haust gasses were carried off by six deckedge funnels which, during flight operations, were swung outward to horizontal positions. She had eight, five-inch anti-aircraft guns. In 1939, she served in the neutrality patrol along the North American Seaboard, and when the war came, she aided the U.S. Army Air Force. On a.transAtlantic trip in May 1942, off the African Gold Coast, she launched 60 P-40 Warhawks of the AAF to Accra, from which point they were flown in a series of flights to Karachi, India for operation with the 10th AAF.
