The last World War I Dreadnought:
On December 21st, I was fortunate to be able to escort my mother Lois and my wife Heather to the USS Texas in LaPorte. When launched in 1912, she was the most powerful ship ever built. Note the ten 14-inch/45 rifles in her main battery. As you can see, it was a perfect day. I think she looks pretty good for a lady of 104.
If I lived closer, I'd love to volunteer aboard.
