The USS TEXAS 35 - Battleship
A US Navy battleship that is over 100 years old and saw action in two world wars is on the move for the first time in more than three decades to undergo much-needed repairs.
First launched in 1912 and commissioned two years later, the USS Texas engaged German U-boats off the New England coast in World War I and was later deployed during World War II to support the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, before it was eventually turned into a floating museum in 1948.
The battleship left San Jacinto County, Texas, on Wednesday morning and is expected to reach the Gulf Copper Dry Dock & Rig Repair in Galveston by nightfall, where it will undergo $35 million in repairs to a hull damaged by decades in the water, The Associated Press reported. The work is expected to take two years.
