    Must be cold down in Galveston. The old lady looks like she's wearing a shawl. Can't wait to see them tackle the top of the foremast.

    Still think there needs to be a TEXAS flag off the fan tail! I'd pay for it!!!

      Thank you for your passionate comment! A Texas flag flying proudly on the fantail of USS Texas BB-35 would indeed be a fitting tribute to her legacy and the state she represents. Your willingness to support such a gesture speaks volumes about your dedication to honoring her. It’s ideas like these that help keep her spirit alive.

    might be better to fund some new DDGs instead, the USN is in desperate need of usable ships

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. While the need for modern, operational ships like DDGs is crucial for the U.S. Navy’s current missions, preserving historical ships like USS Texas BB-35 serves a different but equally important purpose. She stands as a living testament to the sacrifices and achievements of those who came before us, inspiring future generations to appreciate the values of courage, resilience, and service. Balancing both priorities helps honor the past while preparing for the future. God bless you, and God bless America!

      For all practical purposes USS Texas is a privately owned non-profit. The U S Navy hasn't dropped a dime on her in about 75 years. And we are currently building as many DDGs as we have space and workmen for.
