Which flag?

After discussions, the advice is to use naval ensigns, not jacks - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Tables. The correct US flag has been selected by a template - see the US entry in Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Ensigns. Folks at 137 12:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request Ranger (CV-4) page be moved up from a stub

I want to request a review of this page by editors as a candidate to be moved from a stub article to a full article based on the fact that it has now been extensively inline referenced and verifiably sourced with citations applied.

Possible Inaccuracy

Friedman in his book US Aircraft Carriers says that the Ranger was unprotected and on page 391 lists "none" as the belt, bulkhead and deck armor. Do we know for sure the armor cited in the article is correct?Ski206 (talk) 01:40, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  NavsourceLists her having 2" sides and bulkheads. I've read she did not have a belt
   and looking at all of the pictures and models found around the Internet I'd have to agree. They didn't make internal belts in
   those days. I think labeling it a belt is inaccurate. --Traumatic (talk) 02:56, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
