USS Ranger

The USS Ranger is a Tier 6 American carrier in Naval 1945.

Description
The first American carrier to be built as one from the keel up, the Ranger was the only ship of her class. Unlike most American fleet carriers of World War II, Ranger spent her career in the Atlantic rather than the Pacific. In 1942, she assisted in Operation Torch, bombing the incomplete French battleship Jean Bart. The rest of the war she spent attacking German convoys and submarines with her aircraft. She remained in service until 1946 and scrapped in 1947.

Performance
The Ranger includes 1 squadron per aircraft type. These aircraft include the following:


 * 1 x Fighter (Grumman F4F Wildcat)
 * Best fighter aircraft in mid tier in terms of damage and health, but is slower than fighters from IJN Ryujo and IJN Zuiho.
 * Good for harassing and intercepting lower tier aircraft carriers, and can also be used to attack Anti-Sub Warfare aircraft and as AA bait.
 * Same damage as fighters from USS Wasp.
 * 1 x Dive Bomber (Douglas SBD Dauntless)
 * Less minimum damage than dive bombers from Ryujo, but higher maximum damage.
 * More health than the Ryujo's dive bombers, but less speed as a result.
 * Overall, good planes.
 * Torpedo bombers (Grumman TBF Avenger)
 * Faster and has more HP than the torpedo bombers on her IJN counterpart Ryujo, but has 2 less planes per squadron compared to Ryujo. Ranger also has 1 less torpedo bomber squadron than Ryujo.
 * The torpedo bombers also have better damage than their IJN counterpart, making them good aircraft overall.

Overall, Ranger is a typical American carrier, having good fighters and also having larger aircraft HP compared to Japanese carriers. She is, overall, a great ship to play in Mid Tier servers.
