Well researched, written and reported history or the USS Princeton...WW2 carrier sunk in the Phillappines. My father was on the carrier when she went down so I had a special interest. He survived but would never talk about his experiences. Now I have a better understanding of what he went thru. Thank you Thomas Bradsaw for this history and these insights.
