Was the Alaska Ranger ever on the Discovery Channel series The Deadliest Catch? I can’t find mentioned of it on the series official web site, nor on Wikipedia. Yet, I think I’ve heard it mentioned on the series.
I don’t think Deadliest Catch mentioned much about boats that fish for, well, fish (as opposed to crab). At least, I don’t think I heard anything about it, and I think I saw all of the DC episodes.

I’m well aware the Alaska Ranger was not a crab or fishing boat. It was a processing boat. I just seem to recall hearing the name as one of the processing boats the crabbers may have used during the series. It was that confirmation I was trying to find. Thanks anyway.
The link above also includes vessels with no imbedded camera crew and non-fishing vessels, which includes the processing vessels Independence and Stellar Sea. The word Ranger does not appear in the article.
