Description
The Battleship Texas is an extraordinary relic of old-style sea power. Commissioned in 1914, it was one of the most powerful ships in the world at the time, and its class dominated naval warfare for decades. Over the years, the ship underwent significant modifications to prepare it for modern warfare. During World War I, it operated with British battleships in the North Sea and protected troop convoys. In World War II, Texas played a key role in the American landings at Normandy, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. This book is a comprehensive guide to the ship's history, featuring photographs taken by photographer-writer Hugh Power before and after restoration. With its unique blend of history and photography, it offers a fascinating walking tour of the battleship, allowing readers to explore every aspect of this incredible vessel.
