On 21 April 1992, in harmony with other World War II 50th-anniversary festivities, "Ranger" participated in the commemorative re-enactment of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo, Japan. Two World War II-era B-25 bombers were craned on board, and over 1,500 guests (including national, local and military media) were embarked to witness the two vintage aircraft travel down "Ranger" flight deck and take off. In June, "Ranger" made an historic port visit to Vancouver, British Columbia, in conjunction with her final phase of pre-deployment workups.
