In 1991 BATTLE GROUP ECHO CONSISTED OF USS RANGER (CV-61) with COMCARGRU-7 & CVW-2 embarked, USS WABASH (AOR 5), AND USS MAUNA KEA (AOE 22) and CRUISER DESTROYER GROUP THREE - USS VALLEY FORGE (CG 50), USS CHOSIN (CG 62), USS KINKAID (DD 965), USS HARRY W. HILL (DD-986), USS KIRK (FF 1087)
 
Operation Desert Storm saw the Ranger do a three-month stint in the Persian Gulf, arriving Jan. 15 following a 39-day transit. Less than 48 hours after arriving, the Ranger’s air wing began pounding Iraqi troops in Iraq and Kuwait.
 
The planes flew more than 4,200 sorties against the enemy and dropped more than 4.3-million pounds of bombs. One aircraft with two pilots aboard was lost.
 
“The sense of patriotism and mission were clear,” said Capt. Jay Campbell, a Vietnam veteran who commanded the 2,200-man air wing. “Our fighting crew was disappointed that we didn’t have more of an opportunity to engage them (Iraqi warplanes),” he said. Los Angeles Times
