One of the last remaining dreadnoughts in the world is the American Texas battleship. With the help of the archival wartime newsreels and CG animation, we will tell the viewers about the most important points on the battle path of the veteran ship: covering the Normandy landings, artillery duel against the Hamburg battery, and supporting the Iwo Jima invasion.
Naval Legends is a series about the construction, service, and daring deeds of legendary 20th-century ships.

It's funny that a VIDEO GAME channel does the best documentaries on real warships.
My great grandfather was a turret commander on the USS Texas throughout WW2.
They actually failed to mention that, at the time of its original construction, the Texas was technically the most powerful weapon on the planet. In a time before modern nuclear armament the Texas was the last thing you would want to see rolling up in your local harbor. It was the most fearsome battleship in the world during WWI
You have to be one hell of a mad lad to intentionally flood your warship just to give the extra degrees needed to hit the targets, and then, add to that the recoil effect from shooting all guns without pushing your ship over the edge. What a Boss.
the USS Texas, not only named after my home state, but one of the most powerful ships in the world. I'm glad they retired it to Houston, so I was able to visit it.
How does a gaming company make better documentary than... idk Documentary TV channels? Seriously you guys rock, some of the best military documentaries i've seen ever.
Damn. Sounds like the Texas was like our version of the Warspite. The old girl was everywhere.
Its purpose is not to give dmg, its purpose is to blap underage ship and send them to the citadel class
I'm a Texan. Who is a Texan with me?
This ship served texas hotdogs for breakfast
I got married on the bow of this ship a few years ago, lol.

So I just watched the video again. You know if you guys wanted to spin off a secondary business as a production studio I think your team would do exceptionally well in doing historical military documentaries.
Fun fact, in the US battleship classes were made in pairs and the first one out would essentially name the class (i.e. Iowa class). Texas is a part of the New York class of Battleship, but funnily enough the Texas was actually completed first (the New York suffered delays), leading some to joke that it is actually the Texas class of Battleship.
My children and I visited the Texas a number of times in the 90's when they were young. On one occasion, my son and I were touring on our own, and my son was asking a lot of questions which I could not answer. A tour group was passing by with two tour leaders. One of them heard my son's questions, split off from the group, and gave us a personal tour of the ship all the way down to the emergency steering room. We even got to see parts of the bilge, though it was mostly flooded. At the time the lower decks were closed to the public for maintenance due to leaks and other problems. Many of the ladders were missing, so we had to climb down extension ladders. But to this day my son and I still remember the kind tour guide and the incredible experience of climbing all the way down to the bowels of this amazing ship.
The fact that this ship was in service so long is a testament to the quality of it.
The ship deliberately listing to give its guns a higher angle during D-Day was especially interesting IMO.
I was born and grew up in Houston, Texas, and was able to visit the Battleship Texas numerous times as a teenager and again as an adult, after my time spent in the US Navy, I have the Texas in World of Warships (premium) and will never give her up!
Every Ship was offered to the State it was named after?
"The Last Dreadnought" quite true...
