    Thanks for the post. Didn't even realize that she existed.

    Wonderful news! Old war ships are expensive to keep but great to explore. Would love to go through a WW1 cruiser. The US is lucky to have so many battleships open to the public. I am dying to see the Texas !

    Good news, considering they were going to scrap her not that long ago.

    Great photo's! I really wish they would restore her to something close to her original configuration.
