...Different Battleship Texas...

I dont think the soldiers cared that the Battleship Texas was from 1914. 30 years old, with 14 inch main guns rather than the more modern 16 inch.
I dont think it mattered to those on the receiving end of those projectiles either.

The Germans would say “Missed me by 2 inches”.
