didn’t the Japanese make a shrine out of Admiral Toga’s flagship which could technically be a pre-dreadnought. I don’t know if they called it a battleship, but equal to the USS Maine. USS Texas was of course, a dreadnought era battleship, and considering how many capital ships from 1912 on were built, some by countries that don’t exist anymore, USS Texas is a very unique survivor.I hope to see it one day soon. Is the USS Lexington at the same memorial?
