USS Ranger was the third Forrestal-class supercarrier, commissioned as CVA-61 in 1957 and the only ship of her class to serve her entire career in the Pacific Fleet. Redesignated CV-61 in 1975, she made repeated Western Pacific and Indian Ocean deployments until her decommissioning in 1993.
This heavyweight letterman jacket commemorates Ranger's 1976 Western Pacific deployment, which carried her into the Indian Ocean to stand watch off East Africa.
