From an ex member of the UK RAF , but who's family where navy , I've heard of the dreadnoughts, seen the old footage , but seeing the last giant lady at sea even though she was being towed was awe inspiring. To think of all the brave sailors who served on her , and the enemies she has faced. And she's still here. Respect to the Texas. May your Restoration bring you back to us. Good speed lady.

I visited the Battleship Texas about 20 years ago and it’s amazing to see her again

@NovusDawn1 2 года назад

I can only imagine how she would look entering harbor under her own power, even being towed she still is an amazing sight to see on the move.

@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 Год назад

Hello, under her own power she would sound a little bit like this. It's possible the U.S.S. Texas and R.M.S. Titanic shared identical engines. RU-vid video" Kempton Park Big Triple Steam Engine Starting

There aren't words for to express what awe this ship evokes .. I won't even try... I'll just stand and salute with gratitude and honor for her and all her crew!! Man!! it would nice to hear and see her under her own power... It would be nice indeed

I must admit when I saw the Texas coming out of the San Jacinto area into the ship channel and saw the picture of the American Flag in the breeze, I had tears in my eyes. That was beautiful! Thank You so much for this great video.

@shawncosmos5431 Год назад

I was born long after she was decommissioned but that matters none. What a prideful emotional feeling seeing her gracefully cutting through the water. Launched in 1912 ( I think) and still with us!! God bless all who sailed on her..built her and those keeping her majestic poise!

She may no longer be capable of moving on her own power, but USS Texas still conveys the power and majesty of a big-gun battleship that once ruled the seven seas. Fear God and dread naught, indeed.

I love the Battleship TEXAS...!!! Always have. From the moment I saw her in pictures, then in "person" as a child. I know. It's weird. I just seem so connected with the ship. THANKS for sharing such great footage! Especially of going under the bridge. That was very cool... Epic! Thank you so much!

This aging former USAF SSgt has misty eyes. Men of my grandparents' generation of the family served in the US Navy, a few on Battleships, such as the USS Massachusetts. It is an act of reverence to their sacrifice to preserve and conserve these monuments.

@rogerb3654 2 года назад

Think about this: while being towed, USS Texas (BB-35) was the fastest battleship in the world (Even at 4 knots~ish).

Twas 7 knots, She was the fastest Battleship afloat in 2022.

The music really made this video enjoyable and how fitting it sounded for the last dreadnought in the world. The battleship Texas takes the slogan of, Don't Mess With Texas, to a whole new level. Great job. Bravo 👏. I would hope that her battle awards and purple heart are painted on her skin, like other modern ships and fighters get.

Beautiful. Thank you. Sure would of liked to be on one of the tugs hugging and guiding Texas. She, to me, stands also for the USS Houston lying at the bottom of the sea. And the silver set presented to her by the children of Texas - purchased by taking up a collection from the public and working jobs. Keep saving the battleships - to remember what honor and sacrifice for freedom was like.

We are not so remote from the builders. My father was born 8 years later in 1920. During the second world war his army job description was "signals radio intelligence". Today my daughter is U.S. Navy and her job description is "signals radio intelligence".
