Every year we gather together to share our common camaraderie as Rangermen. Join us as we swap sea stories, conduct business and have fun! From plankowners, seamen, chiefs, commanding officers, TAD's, squadron members to Marine detachments, all are welcome.
The Association is an incorporated, non-profit group. Since 1988, a group of Rangermen started by plankowner John Muzio (V-1 Division) has been meeting annually to keep the comraderies alive and form new friendships with crew members throughout the years. Our mission is to assist and support association members by providing a single information source to inform every one of our actives and our ship, and to provide quality reunions that allow shipmates to share their common past and keep the spirit of RANGER alive.

Did you know that over 50,000 people (estimated) served on the USS Ranger from her commissioning in
1957 until her decomissioning in 1993?
Help us continue her legacy, passing on our stories and rich history for generations to come.
We must preserve her high standards of performance and accomplishments by joining and
contributing to the historical significance of our great ship, and perpetuate our motto, "Top Gun –
Bar None!"
