Someone on the subreddit pointed out that she looks like Shigure Ui. When is Ui’s next stream? We should congratulate her on successfully passing the US Navy’s Shipgirl Program.
One the one hand, she never fought the Japanese making relations with them rather easy.
On the other... there was a damn good reason the US Navy kept her out of the Pacific.
And... oh yeah... she "sunk" Enterprise during an exercise in 1940.
True. But she did sink a battleship and avenge herself after the Germans took credit for sinking her. Her boys showed themselves to not be gentle even if their assignment was not as prestigous as others. One Riot, One Ranger.
I've got to be honest, I was rather worried that Ranger would have too big of a bust but that one seems rather reasonable for an American carrier that was supposed to be an answer to Ryuujou.

Ranger was not roughly equivalent to Ryuujou. RJ was almost half the displacement and 54m shorter than Ranger. While Ranger's displacement was modest, she was a fully fledged fleet carrier rather than a light carrier in terms of her air group's capabilities.
