USS Princeton (CV-37)
USS ''Princeton'' (CV/CVA/CVS-37, LPH-5) was one of 24 s built during and shortly after World War II for the United States Navy. The ship was the fifth US Navy ship to bear the name, and was named for the Revolutionary War Battle of Princeton. ''Princeton'' was commissioned in November 1945, too late to serve in World War II, but saw extensive service in the Korean War, in which she earned eight battle stars, and the Vietnam War. She was reclassified in the early 1950s as an attack carrier (CVA), then as an Antisubmarine Aircraft Carrier (CVS), and finally as an amphibious assault ship (LPH), carrying helicopters and marines. One of her last missions was to serve as the prime recovery ship for the Apollo 10 space mission.
Although she was extensively modified internally as part of her conversion to an LPH, external modifications were minor, so throughout her career ''Princeton'' retained the classic appearance of a World War II ''Essex''-class ship. She was decommissioned in 1970, and sold for scrap in 1971.
==Construction and commissioning==
The ship was laid down as ''Valley Forge'' — one of the "long-hull" ''Essex'' class — on 14 September 1943 at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. She was renamed ''Princeton'' on 21 November 1944 to commemorate the light carrier , which was lost at the Battle of Leyte Gulf on 24 October 1944. The new ''Princeton'' was launched on 8 July 1945, sponsored by Mrs. Harold Dodds, and commissioned on 18 November 1945, Captain John M. Hoskins in command.
