Encyclopedia: USS Ranger (CV-4)

The sixth USS Ranger (CV-4) was the first ship of the United States Navy to be designed and built from the keel up as an aircraft carrier. Ranger was built to be a smaller ship, closer to Langley in tonnage, and without an island; a small island was added after construction. The Yorktown class aircraft carriers which followed were over 10,000 tons larger and more capable, as were the Essex class aircraft carriers which followed them.
