Hull Number CV-37


My father was aboard the USS Princeton from 52-53, and I understand that this ship was used for much of the footage in "Flat Top".

According to Wikipedia (where I discovered the film), they made no attempt to hide the hull number (CV-37). Can anyone confirm this? I read a review of the film where the reviewer claimed he recognized the ship as the USS Enterprise, so I'd like to confirm it's actually CV-37 before I buy my dad a copy.

Many thanks!
