USS Texas was commissioned in 1914, fought at Operation Torch, Normandy, southern France, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and was decommissioned in 1948. She went to Gulf Copper in Galveston in August 2022 leaking badly enough that her survival was in question. Steel repairs are now finished, the hull is watertight, and what remains is a pier, a permit and a dredging plan.
