The only surviving First and Second World War battleship being towed to a dry dock in Galveston, Texas, in order to undergo a $35m makeover.

That was cool, thanks.
Prettiest 110 year old Lady I've ever seen. :dreamer:
Toured her a million years ago as a wee lad; pity as I remember zip in details. Glad to see her still a going.
Looks like she needs a good scrape down.

Beautiful - I would like to visit her one day.
I got more barnacles than that just on my back.
I wonder if there's a video walkthrough...
Well, duh!
And a more recent one (last year):
^Nice
Somehow, "Deep In The Heart Of Texas" begins playing in my mind. :idiot2:
Someone was able to do a walkthru of the USS Texas while she is in drydock. fyi: the video is more of a slideshow with commentary.
...and another WOWS user did a drydock tour of USS Texas. Also included, a few other ships/sights from Galvanston.

She's got a new coat of paint.
USS Texas is out of drydock.
