This commemorative photo honors USS Ranger (CV-61) and her place in the F-14 Tomcat era of Pacific Fleet naval aviation. Ranger was the first carrier to operate the F-14 in fleet service and hosted Tomcat squadrons across multiple WestPac deployments through the 1980s and into the early 1990s — putting her at the heart of the community trained at the Naval Fighter Weapons School, "Top Gun." Her flight deck launched countless Tomcat sorties during a generation when the F-14 defined American carrier aviation. This framed ship photo is a tribute to her crew, her aviators, and the fighter pilots who flew from her decks during the Tomcat years.
