"www.history.navy.mil/research/histories" had a very useful section on US Navy aircraft locations in WW2 but it seems to have gone; have you come across it lately?
I've got a page I saved on Atlantic CVE compositions and RANGER was on it too,dated 7 March 1944 back on the east coast; the F4Fs had been replaced by FM-2s.

Hello Nick.
Does this site http://www.wings-aviation.ch/index.htm help?
Go to the US Navy section and you can get info via either Carrier or aircraft type/squadron
