    My father served aboard the USS Texas' sister ship - the USS New York (BB-34) - as a gunner's mate in World War I from 1917 - 1919. And, yes, the stories both ships could tell from service in two wars! Hope it survives long enough for me to take a tour after its repairs.

    When Texas was launched, she was the baddest ship on the high seas. Thank you for your service, Old Girl.

    I wish ,but i know its impossible. But it would be awsome to restore her to front line shape, and use it as a working museum ship. Meaning that they would take her out under her own power periodically to sea huging the coastline. Maybe even sell passage on her like a authentic WW1 / WW2 type cruzz and possibly fire blanks from the big guns on the 4th of july! They could possibly generate a masaive income from that. But that would take a lot of money and is problematic and impossible! But how cool would that be to go on a real Battleship WW1 & WW2 type cruzz.
    ?! Just sayen😁

    I'd rather pay taxes to restore this beautiful ship than pay more taxes for all those new IRS agents.

    She’s the few of her breed, a pre-dreadnaught battleship.

      No. She’s the LAST of her breed, the only dreadnought left.

      Pre dreadnaught? Really?

      I believe she's actually the only remaining battleship of her period, but I think she's a post-Dreadnaught, not pre-.

      @daruma56563 2 года назад

      @@absalomdraconis Yes it's post dreadnought. Even considered the more advanced super dreadnoaught.

      Actually the Mighty T is a super-dreadnought. The first-generation dreadnoughts (ex. HMS Dreadnought) we're armed with 12-inch guns. In 1911, dreadnoughts were outclassed by larger, better armed & armored, more powerful super-dreadnoughts.
      ps. The only pre-dreadnought that is still existing is Japan's former flagship Mikasa. She participated in the Battle of Tsushima in 1904.
