A painting of the battleship Texas, the world's only surviving dreadnought. The Texas participated in World Wars 1 and 2, and for a time it was the most powerful weapon in the world. For some time now, the ship has been in Galveston, Texas, undergoing repairs. It is hoped (but is not certain) that the vessel will remain in Texas.
Galveston already operates Seawolf Park, which is located on Pelican Island. The park is the home of the submarine USS Cavalla and a destroyer escort, the USS Stewart (DE–238). I've been fortunate enough to visit both vessels. Sadly, I haven't been able to find my pictures. I do remember loving the submarine because we visited in the intense heat of July. The submarine evidently had an air conditioner setup - it was very comfortable inside. Still, I wouldn't want to go to sea in what seems like a tube.
