USS Ranger (CVA-61) Ship's Crest Throw Blanket

USS Ranger was commissioned as CVA-61 — Attack Aircraft Carrier — in August 1957 and served through some of the most consequential decades in American naval history. From Cold War patrols to Vietnam combat operations to a dozen Pacific deployments, CVA-61 was the sharp tip of American sea power before her redesignation as CV-61 in 1975. This blanket carries her original attack carrier crest.
