Re: Name This Naval Vessel 2
USS Ranger. Had the pic been bigger, everyone could have seen the letters "RNGR" on the aft edge of the flight deck.

Re: Name This Naval Vessel 2
Precisely the point. What gave it away, the six "stacks" sticking up through the deck (three a side)

Re: Name This Naval Vessel 2
A bomber pilot has to be able to recognize these things before bumping into them nose to nose.
Being so close that you can read the "Dog-Tags" and then go through the personnel roster to identify the ship, negates the point.

Re: Name This Naval Vessel 2
Keep trying. The sharks mouth on the front is what gives it away. There weren't too many of them painted on subs.
