Default I know its been a long wait USS Texas pt 2

I know this has been a long time in the making but I had to ensure it was right for a start as my knowledge on this subject is limited.
Most of you know I'm not a battleship guy nor am I a WWI or II buff I'm more at home with submarines and the cold war.

However that still doesn't mean I disregard the other era ships, in fact quite the opposite its a big goal of mine to visit them, and I can finally say I have visited the USS Texas the last of the first generation Dreadnoughts.

I wrote this article which is part 2 with the help of Gabe Shuffield who works for the Battleship Texas foundation and rightfully credit to him for the finer details in both articles and her history.

This is Part 2 https://www.navygeneralboard.com/uss-texas-part-two/
