USS Texas

Thanks for the pics!

I've always been a WWII history buff, especially the Pacific theater. But I've never been on any of the big ships. I may have been on a Destroyer Escort and/or a German U-boat when I lived in Cleveland, OHIO. Through school I use to bury myself in a Jane's Fighting Ships book or anything else with WWII ship specs and histories and could rattle off hull numbers, armaments, displacements, etc. I still remembr many.

* I have seen the battleship Alabama in Mobile Bay from the highway every time I've gone to Louisiana and Texas to race.

* I always think about the North Carolina in Wilmington when traveling north on I-95.

* Always wanted to visit Pearl Harbor and they now have the Missouri there.

* I forgot at the moment which carrier they have/had in Charlston, SC.

* They recently sank the carrier Oriskany (spelling) in the Gulf of Mexico to make a reef/fish habitat.

One of these days I gotta make some time!
