IMHO, the USS Ranger should've been included in WITP. She was after all present in the Pacific in 1944/45. Dispite the fact she never saw any action. quote:
On 11 July 1944 she departed Norfolk transited the Panama Canal 5 days later, and embarked several hundred Army passengers at Balboa for transportation to San Diego, arriving there 25 July. After embarking the men and aircraft of Night Fighting Squadron 102 and nearly a thousand marines, she sailed for Hawaiian waters 28 July, reaching Pearl Harbor 3 August. During the next 3 months she conducted night carrier training operations out of Pearl Harbor. Ranger departed Pearl Harbor 18 October to train pilots for combat duty. Operating out of San Diego under Commander, Fleet Air, Alameda, she continued training air groups and squadrons along the California coast throughout the remainder of the war. USS Ranger She was transfered back to the eastern seaboard after the war. I intend to put the Carrier in the game but have no idea what class she was! Perhaps someone could help out.
