Awesome screenshot from the livestream of the USS Texas as she makes her way to dry dock for some long overdue repairs.

Just boarded our floating hotel for our next adventure and opened the curtains on the balcony door to this view. I knew she was in dry dock. Didnt know where exactly in the port of Galveston it was. Can't say that anymore.

The Texas is afloat again!  She looks pretty good for a 110 year old ship (launched 18 May 1912 and commissioned on 12 March 1914).  Those guns if they were operable could sink anything afloat today in a one to one action barring missiles and aircraft.

The major hull repairs (that required the drydock) are done. Everything else is doable pierside.

March 5, 2024 Refloat of Battleship Texas

"Good Morning!

This morning Battleship Texas Foundation, Valkor Energy Services, and Gulf Copper plan to undock the Battleship Texas. This hours-long process will start at roughly 4 am. This operation is incredibly dependent on weather conditions -tide, current, and visibility. As of right now, there is very dense fog, if the Galveston Pilots do not have sufficient visibility, the discharge will be delayed until the next suitable tide and current window.

With over 700 tons of steel renewed on the ship and hundreds of thousands of man hours put into making the hull substantially watertight, we have great confidence that today will be successful. Once this 112 year old hull goes back into the water we will be subjecting her to an extended evaluation period while the ship remains in the shipyard.

I combined all three videos posted on their Facebook page.
