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

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 bit.ly/colgregory

We were honored this weekend to play a small role in returning Navy Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Archie T. Miles home to his family. He was assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor and killed during World War II on December 7, 1941.
