Kantai Collection's personification of the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CV-4). Character design by Hoshiakari (C2 Kikan). Voiced by Natsuko Abe.
Her rigging consists of her real-life island superstructure on her right, a 12.7 cm single gun mount on her left, and her real-life flight deck used as a portable case.
She is portrayed as a drunkard for reasons that have yet to be determined.
In real life, Ranger was the US Navy's first aircraft carrier designed and built from scratch. In World War II, she primarily saw combat in the Atlantic and Mediterranean theaters as her comparatively slow speed, minimal armor, and limited plane capacity prevented her from seeing service in the Pacific other than training duties from 1944 onward.
