    About USS Texas

    Texas (BB-35) is a retired US Navy New York-class battleship, now a museum ship. Known for toughness, reliability, and power, Texas was a technological testbed, first to mount anti-aircraft guns, control gunfire with directors, and launch aircraft. She's the last surviving dreadnought battleship.
