We the crew of the USS Ranger (CV By GOD 61) also known as the Top Gun Bar None of the Pacific, respectfully request help in reincarnating the fighting and humanitarian spirit of our beloved USS Ranger by assigning the name USS Ranger to the future hull number of CVN-81.The name USS Ranger has been a Naval tradition from the beginning of our country. John Paul Jones commanded the first USS Ranger during the Revolutionary War. It was commissioned on June 14, 1777, the same day the Stars and Stripes became our flag. There have been several others since then. Including the first ship designed as an aircraft carrier. The latest USS Ranger (CV-61) is currently being scrapped. Please instruct the Sec of the Navy to reuse this name and carry on the tradition of 238 years of service to our country
