HISTORIE
deck was to be clean, same as on Langley. To
eliminate chimneys’ smoke interfering with the
aircraft operations six smokestacks (three on
each side) were designed as collapsible. During
the construction, however, the bridge was added.
The smokestacks were already completed at
that time and their re-design would have been
too expensive, so they were left in the original
configuration. Ranger was relatively small,
222.5 meters long, her standard displacement
was less than 15 000 tons and full displacement
less than 18 000 tons. It was also slower, 29.5
knots. Lexington and Saratoga could reach
the speed of 33 knot. Therefore, Ranger was
considered unsuitable for the Pacific battlefield
and for the most part of the war operated in
the Atlantic. The German navy was considered
a weaker opponent than the Japanese navy.
Ranger took part in the operation Torch (landing
in the North Africa) and attacks on the German
targets in the Norwegian waters. She was the
only pre-war American aircraft carrier which
did not participated in the fight against Japan.
In 1946 she was struck of charge and in January
1947 sold to the scrap yards.
Yorktown class
The Navy applied the experience from building
and deploying the previous vessels into building
the next Yorktown class. The war games
analysis clearly showed the necessity of fast
aircraft carriers equipped with the large aircraft
group on board. In addition, good anti-torpedo
protection of the hull was required. Therefore,
USS Yorktown (CV-5), USS Enterprise (CV-6) and
USS Hornet (CV-7) were all built based on these
principles. The construction of the first two
was launched in 1934, right after completion of
Ranger. In addition, the USA managed to put USS
Wasp (CV-7) on the building schedule between
Enterprise and Hornet. After Langley was
rebuilt to the seaplanes’ carrier, the tonnage
limit opened and based on the treaties in place
at that time the USA could use it for building the
aircraft carriers. It was not enough for the full-
fledged Yorktown class and the result was kind
of her down-scaled version. The weight was
saved at the cost of the anti-torpedo protection
which later proved costly for USS Wasp. Hornet’s
construction begun in September 25, 1939, after
WWII broke out in Europe. She was launched
on December 14, 1940, and entered service on
October 20, 1941. The ship was 251 meters long,
her standard displacement was 20 000 tons
and full displacement reached 26 000 tons. The
powerplant, consisting of nine boilers and four
steam turbines possessed 120 000 HP (89 000
kW). Thus, Hornet could reach the speed of 32.5
knots. The flight deck measured 248x26 meters.
The hangar below measured 166x19 meters and
was connected to the flight deck by three lifts.
Hornet could carry 72 aircraft and the flight
personnel accounted for 851 people. The ship’s
crew was comprised of 86 officers and 1280
sailors. Initially her armament was comprised
of eight single barrel, 127 mm caliber cannons,
four twin barrel 28 mm caliber cannons and 24
12.7 mm caliber machine guns. In January 1942,
the machine guns were removed and gradually
replaced by 32 single barrel 20 mm caliber
cannons. Later a single four-barrel, 28 mm
caliber cannon was added increasing the total
number of weapons of this caliber to twenty.
Into the action in the Pacific
All the ships of these class, together with
The USS Wasp was the first aircraft carrier with an elevator at the edge of the flight deck. The aircraft, in this case an SB2U-2 Vindicator from VS-72 in June 1940,
was lifted in a semicircle by two arms on the sides of the elevator platform.
