The next morning, 1 September, the USS Texas in the dry at Todd Shipyard, where it was towed to yesterday.

Thanks for finding that photo.

I knew that the State was forced to repair her at dry dock in 1988.

I trust that this time the repairs will be made with an eye toward the original plans (teak decks, anyone?) and extending her life span.

And get the 14” guns operational.

With a new autoloader. No more bags of gunpowder.

Never know when Galveston will need to show Houston who is the Boss.
