The only American light carrier to be lost to enemy action, USS Princeton had an exciting life prior to that. From a mock air raid on Pearl Harbor, to the actual raid on Rabaul, to participating in the Marianas Turkey Shoot. She should be remembered for those actions, just as much as she is remembered for blowing up in spectacular fashion.
Even if her service career was, in the end, relatively short at only a little over a year and a half of active service.
