Stockton guided construction of the Princeton, using some of his family's wealth to help finance the project when it cost more than the Navy was willing to spend.

The 600-foot light carrier USS Princeton (CVL23) was commissioned in the Philadelphia Navy Yard on February 25, 1943, and was sunk 20 months later, on October 24, 1944, in Leyte Gulf during heroic efforts to retake the Philippines from the Japanese.
