Story
This freighter was built in 1987 by Gulf Craft in Franklin, LA.
Historical Notes
George Schneider stated "A more exotic craft, RANGER (1266534) is a monohull Incat design built by Gulf Craft at their new yard in Franklin LA in 2019. This vessel came out as LIBBY L MCCALL, but a year later also sold to the Navy. Two sisters remain in commercial service. It'll be nice if we can eventually get these vessels underway, and maybe even photograph their sterns to see if they have Navy boat numbers."
