USS Texas, is also correct, she took part in Veracruz right?
I figured it would have been a Japanese dread. I also tried to think of how many RN Dreads served long careers as well.

Yes Texas, supported troop landings at Vera Cruz, WWI,WWII. and she's still afloat. A tribute to the many dreads that served two wars and more. And she looks just great I might add.
