The Battleship Texas used to be moored in San Jacinto. The last time I visited the ship as a pre-teen, the tour guide said this, “This battleship could shoot a bullet the weight of a VW bug and hit a building with precision using technology from WWII.” That blew my mind. The quote has stuck with me and blows my mind even more today.

The Texas is afloat again!  She looks pretty good for a 110 year old ship (launched 18 May 1912 and commissioned on 12 March 1914).  Those guns if they were operable could sink anything afloat today in a one to one action barring missiles and aircraft.

Commissioned in 1914 as the most powerful weapon in the world, the Battleship TEXAS is credited with the introduction and innovation of advances in gunnery, aviation, and radar. She is the last surviving Dreadnought as well as the only battleship in existence today that fought in both World War I and World War II. Photo of the Battleship Texas in drydock in Galveston, Texas.
