The USS Texas, a historic battleship that played significant roles in both World Wars, has returned to water after an 18-month dry dock repair, marking a major milestone in its $75 million restoration journey.
Following more than three decades in service, USS Texas decommissioned in 1948. For all these years, the warship has remained in the Houston Ship Channel - notably the same location where Texian troops surprised and defeated the Mexican army in 1836.
