The carrier went to the Philippines.
This is a bit of downer, but the yearbook ends with a remembrance of the crew members who died on the cruise.
These are the end pages showing the ship's full tour.
This also brings us to the end of these posts. This book was a really tremendous artifact to have had. After taking the pictures, I did give it to a co-worker. She thought her father would be interested in it, as he was a sailor during this time period. She reported back that he was enraptured looking at the book. At one point, he did serve on board the Ranger on another tour. He said he'd try to find a way to find Seaman Rhodes or his family with his veteran's contacts to pass it along.
