    • @krullachief669
      @krullachief669 3 месяца назад

      Not currently. Like, she's old, been completely mothballed, and needs extensive structural repairs. Before that gets repaired, it's unlikely that she would ever be able to steam under her own power. Assuming her boilers are even in functional condition. See: she's old for explanation as to why they wouldn't be functional.

    • @oldsguy354
      @oldsguy354 3 месяца назад

      Her boilers date to the 1920's and 30's, and her triple expansion steam engines date to the Teens. They haven't been fired or run since 1945. She didn't even sail under her own power when she went to Houston to be donated. She was towed all the way from the Pacific. I can't imagine that any of her propulsion equipment could be made serviceable today. Her propellers were removed and her rudder is seized in the last position it was turned to when she was parked. I'd like to see her sail under her own power as well, but she wasn't very fast when she was new and the amount of money and work it would take would be astronomical and probably wouldn't be worth it see her sail slowly a few times. She's still over a century old and putting her to sea might be more than she can take. There were real fears she might sink while being towed to Galveston. Rough seas under her own power might break her back.

      When she was launched, she was the most powerful weapon on Earth. When she began her duties in WW2 she was already an antique, well beyond the typical service life of warships of that era, and among the oldest capital ships in the US Navy inventory. During WW2, Texas was older than the vast majority of sailors that served aboard her. She fired so many shells during the invasion of France that she wore out her gun barrels and had to sail to New York to have them replaced before sailing to the Pacific to assist in the island hoping campaigns there. She cost $6 million to build in 1912 and it's safe to say that the American taxpayers got their monies worth on that purchase. It has taken many, many times that much money for upgrades, repairs, and refurbishments over the years, but she is still paying dividends on that initial investment. She is the only remaining Dreadnought battleship on Earth (above sea level), and there were many of them. She was one of (if not the) last battleship powered by triple expansion steam engines (like Titanic had), and those engines still exist in the engine room aboard her today. Several of her early Captains were born before or during the Civil War. It is very likely that Abraham Lincoln's son Robert saw her sail as one of the latest, and formidable weapons in the US Navy arsenal. Before her conversion to oil fired boilers, she required 150 crew members to operate her boilers and keep them supplied with fuel. Most of that coal was carried in wheelbarrows and chutes from bunkers throughout the ship. Calling that hard work is an understatement. If she was at idle in port (with service steam for cooking and heating) and the Captain called for full power, it would be 2 hours before he could expect that throttle response. When Charlie Baker (1893-1970), her most famous Captain, commanded her during the Normandy invasion, Texas had been in the Navy longer than he had. Baker re-assumed command of Texas when she was towed from the Pacific to Houston to personally hand her over to the State of Texas. None of her WW1 veterans are still with us today, and I can't imagine that there are more than a couple (if any) of her WW2 veterans still with us. Sorry if that was too much information, but I found those things about Texas interesting.

      @@oldsguy354 Texas was the last Dreadnought the US built. The next ship was the Nevada. The Texas was the 3rd oldest battleship in the fleet. Only the twelve gun 12-inch Arkansas and her sister ship, New York were older. As far as an antique, there was 12 newer battleships and they were considered antiques. Unlike any other nation, the US did not build battleships for around 20 years. In reality, the North Carolina looked just like those old battleships. The biggest difference was no conning tower. From the side, you could see the twin 5-inch mounts that the older battleships didn't have. If World War II didn't happen especially Pearl Harbor, how much upgrades would the old battleships get?

I know there were at least a couple battleships under construction when the treaty was adopted and they were scrapped before completion. By the time the realization that the Washington treaty was not being adhered to, it was decided to keep the old battleships around until replacements could be built, just in case.
