USS Ranger (CV-61) is currently at the Inactive Ship facility in Bremerton, Washington. The Ranger Foundation is or has bought her and she is going to be moved to Fairfield, OR in 2015 (just outside Portland). She will be a Naval Museum and Civic Center.
UPDATE:
In September 2010, the not-for-profit USS RangerFoundation submitted an application to Naval Sea Systems Command proposing the donation of Ranger for use as a museum ship and multipurpose facility, to be located on the Columbia River at Chinook Landing Marine Park in Fairview, Oregon. However, in September 2012, NAVSEA rejected the foundation's proposal, and redesignated the ship for scrapping. Preparations for disposal Ranger were completed 29 May 2014.
In August 2014, a new attempt began to convince the Navy not to scrap the ship. A petition on Change.org attracted over 2500 signatures. The hope was that Ranger could be located in Long Beach harbor as a museum. However, when asked by the Long Beach Press-Telegram, NAVSEA stated that Ranger was no longer available for donation and was slated to be scrapped in 2015.
On 22 December 2014, the U.S. Navy paid one cent to International Shipbreaking of Brownsville, Texas, to tow and scrap Ranger. International Shipbreaking will pay to tow her around South America, through the Straits of Magellan, as Ranger is too big to fit through the Panama Canal. The tow began on 5 March 2015, and will take up to 5 months from the inactive ships maintenance facility, Bremerton, Washington, to Brownsville. International Shipbreaking is expecting to make a profit from Ranger after the costs of the tow and the actual dismantling of the ship.

What were the short term effects of the Battle of Midway?
Until more could be built, the US only had the carriers USS Saratoga, USS Enterprise, USS Hornet, and the USS Wasp left in the Pacific...USS Ranger was to remain in the Atlantic as she was considered an "easy target" in the Pacific. Lexington and Yorktown (and Langley) were gone. Hornet and Wasp would be lost shortly.
I would like info on aircraft carriers in the battle at guadacanal in 1942?
Probably the Yorktown class: USS Yorktown, USS Hornet, USS Enterprise, and the single USS Wasp. USS Lexington had already been sunk prior to the Guadalcanal campaign. And the Light & Escort carriers hadn't arrived on station yet. USS Ranger was kept in the Atlantic, considered too vulnerable for Pacific work.

How were aircraft carriers used in Atlantic during World War 2?
Some fleet carriers (battle carriers) were used in the Atlantic, such as the USS Wasp, USS Ranger, etc. primarily to support ground landings and hunt submarines. However, the escort carriers did most of the sub hunting. As fleet carrier losses piled up in the Pacific, the USS Wasp had to be transfered to the Pacific, where she was later sunk by a Japanese submarine. The USS Ranger was considered to weak to be sent to the Pacific, and continued to work the Atlantic Theater.
