I was born in Pasadena, Texas - went to the San Jacinto monument, and the USS Texas over 100 times at minimum.
If you’ve never been a sailor, you should visit her, or the Lexington in Corpus Christi and appreciate what our fore fathers survived to give us a life.
If you are a sailor, visit anyway, because the Texas will never give up.
I finally toured the USS Alabama last year. I was impressed by her size but also by the small offices and areas for operations. Real respect for those that served on her.
