Here's one that totally slipped by me. The USS Ranger is a first generation super carrier that was decommissioned in 1993 after decades of honorable service. Although retired, the Navy has maintained it in good condition. A foundation has formed in Portland to bring it here as a museum. Although there is no particular connection to Oregon other than probably hundreds of crewmen over the years serving on her, she certainly would be an imposing addition to the Portland skyline and a living reminder of all the men and women who served and are serving on gray ships all over the world helping to keep our country free. That's a first class idea!
