#2 USS George Washington, John F. Kennedy, and Ranger

Well, here is my second post.  Be sure to keep sharing!  Today we have the USS George Washington (CVN-73), USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67), and USS Ranger (CV-61).

First Post

Hello and welcome to AA: Aircraft Carriers Anonymous.  Every day (hopefully), I will post three images from my collection of American aircraft carriers.  The majority were taken between 1981 and 2007.
