Talk:USS Ranger (CV-4)

message: After discussions, the advice is to use naval ensigns, not jacks - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Tables. The correct US flag has been selected by a template - see the US entry in Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Ensigns. Folks at 137 12:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Which flag?

message: I want to request a review of this page by editors as a candidate to
be moved from a stub article to a full article based on the fact that
it has now been extensively inline referenced and verifiably sourced with
citations applied.

thread_title: Request Ranger (CV-4) page be moved up from a stub

message: Friedman in his book US Aircraft Carriers says that the Ranger  was unprotected and on page 391 lists "none" as the belt, bulkhead and deck armor. Do we know for sure the armor cited in the article is correct?Ski206 (talk) 01:40, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible Inaccuracy 

message: The introduction includes a sentence regarding the number of carriers lost during World War II. The proper reference point is to say that the U.S. began the war with seven carriers and only three survived, Ranger being one. To include Langley is improper, as it had been converted to a seaplane tender before the war. Yes, Langley was lost during the war, but this sentence discusses carrier losses, not seaplane tender losses.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:0:9680:36:4891:26C6:FCF4:D605 (talk) 03:24, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Number of Carriers at the Start of the War 

message: I've received an email circular containing amongst other things what looks like a good quality official photo of Ranger in the Atlantic in 1941. It shows the stern, 50 biplanes + the island and funnels.  Would anyone be willing to add it if I sent it -or has this been discussed and rejected before?

message: At http://www.armouredcarriers.com I read (don't remember the exact page) that the reason for Ranger's absence from Pacific was her lacking underwater protection. Does anyone have other sources (books etc.) to verify that? 93.142.165.145 (talk) 20:53, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've spent the last 5 years in and out of LoC and shelling out for tome after tome. I have yet to find a single book which cites a primary source for why Ranger never made it to the Pacific before 1944 or why she never had a combat role in the Pacific. If you want a book that simply states such a claim without clear support, I can name many for you. Note that this article relies on another encyclopedia for such a claim. Probably, you want Norman Friedman or Mark Stille. Cressman comes the closest by providing both what she was doing with words said about her at the time. However, Cressman does not go so far as to make an argument that the words have any relation to why she did what she did. WispyWillows (talk) 00:30, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
