Port approves lease discussions for Battleship Texas berth | Local News | The Daily News (galvnews.com)

I like it. Was cool at San Jac monument, but the ship will see more visitors in Galveston, I think.

I thought it had serious/continuous leaks that would prevent it ever leaving its current dock. Also thought they gave up trying to permanently fix the problem. ????????????

Really glad to see the Texas staying close to home. Galveston will be a great location with lots of visitors.

Anyone know whether any former shipmates are still alive? When was she retired after WWII?

As cool as the BB Texas is, and I've visited at least half dozen times over the years, it's amazing that the USS Enterprise CV-6 was scrapped in the 1950's.
