That's awesome. Truly wonderful. I personally volunteer on refurbishing and maintaining the USS Texas (BB-35) Museum ship. She's old, but still incredible to learn about. I can only IMAGINE what the Bremerton fleet is like, in comparison.

It was awesome.

As a child, I made many visits to the Battleship Texas. I was raised in the country northwest of Denton (which is north of Dallas) but my grandparents and other relatives on my Mom's side lived in and around Houston so we made a lot of trips down there.

Good for you, keep her battle ready! I actually think the Ohios should be brought back, even an aircraft carrier can't deliver the ordnance that a battleship can.
