Description
During the first quarter of the 20th century, the major naval powers of the world built hundreds of Dreadnought-style battleships. As of late there is just one.
The battleship Texas was once for a time the most powerful weapon on the earth. When it was once commissioned in 1914, the 14-inch guns were the largest on this planet. This technological marvel of the time served with the British Grand Fleet in World War I and was once the flagship of all the U.S. Navy between the two World Wars. All over the Second World War, an older Texas, past its prime, supported amphibious invasions in North Africa, Normandy, Southern France, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. The ship and her crew were preparing for the invasion of Japan when the war ended and the Texas came home.
No longer needed to defend her country, the Texas was once saved from the scrap yard to develop into our nation’s first historic ship museum in 1948. Now lying peacefully in her berth on the San Jacinto State Park near Houston, the battleship Texas is still serving her country—teaching as a substitute of fighting.
The Texas is the only battleship remaining on this planet As of late that served in World War I and the only ship remaining of any type that served in both World Wars. This is the story of the battleship Texas and the brave men who walked its decks.
