Ship Overview

All Ships

 Ranger — American • Tech Tree • Tier V • Aircraft Carrier.

The first U.S. aircraft carrier of special construction. The ship carried a large air group. The carrier's speed was quite high for her type. Her drawbacks included a lack of torpedo protection and impractical arrangement of aircraft elevators, which slowed down the handing of air groups.
