I sailed on the U.S.S. Independence CV-62 (Sister to the Ranger). I would like to see the Ranger saved as she is important to history and granted that Indy can’t be saved as she was stripped down to her bones to provide parts for other carriers while in mothballs. The 59 class was the tip of spear during the cold war.
Thanks for serving our country, Trueblackman.
And thanks for the support, and for bumping the thread. I hope lots of folks will go sign the petition.
