SS34003 USS TEXAS SQUADRON AT SEA
by David Doyle.

The USS Texas proudly saw combat in both World Wars I and II, and
since 1948 has been preserved in her namesake state as memorial
to American servicemen. Armed with 10 14-inch guns and
displacing 32,000 tons, the battleship is still a formidable
sight as she enters into her second century. This massive,
152-page addition to the Squadron at Sea series tells the tale of
the Texas and her crew. Over 350 black-and-white and color
photos not only showcase the construction, numerous voyages,
modifications, combat action, and ultimate preservation of the
ship, but also show the vessel as a home, office, and workshop
for the men who served as her crew. These historic images are
augmented with five line drawings illustrating her key
configurations, as well as nine color profile illustrations
depicting her aircraft, as well as the many camouflage schemes
she wore.
Illustrated with over 350 photographs. 152 pages. Paperback in
perfect binding ISBN = 978-0-89747-708-6.
