- America's fourth aircraft carrier, USS Ranger, was commissioned at Norfolk, Virginia, United States under the command of Captain Arthur L. Bristol. Although smaller than the USS Lexington and USS Saratoga, Ranger was the first US carrier to be designed and built as such from the keel up. Ranger, which cost $20,000,000 to build, incorporated many design features that led to the more functional vessels of World War II. ww2dbase [Norfolk Navy Yard | Ranger | Norfolk, Virginia | AC]
