I remember waking up one morning in 1972 in San Diego, looking across the bay & surprised to see five carriers tied up stem to stern at North Island. I don't know for sure if the Ranger was one of them, but I bet it was. I thought it odd & was a bit uneasy to have five carriers together like that. Seemed too vulnerable to me.

I didn't realize there was so little to them..at least as far as what's visible.

yep , really not much too them at least topside and visible but inside it gets pretty complicated . Mazes of corridors , rooms I suppose , I'd like to see the engine room !!

They try to limit the number of obstacles for naval aviators flying $50M+ airplanes.

I have toured the Midway here in San Diego twice It's huge! The Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) is tied up at North Island right now.

Once you go further than 2 or 3 decks down, its pretty easy to get turned around and confused where the heck you are. At least that was the case the first time I went below deck on the USS Enterprise in 1963.

I have some coffee cups from that Ship my Father brought back with him from being on it. He had already been out of The Navy a long time, was on it doing something with the aircraft, He couldn't tell me what though. Electronics systems was always his answer, and then the subject was changed.
