Where Will the USS Texas End Up? A Saga of Steel and Seawater

The Old Girl Needs a New Home
After all this pampering, the big question is: where will this floating historical monument end up? Will it be a glamorous retirement in a bustling metropolis, or a quiet life in a sleepy coastal town? Or will it end up as a bizarre, nautical-themed Airbnb? (Okay, probably not the last one.)
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
The ship's current home, Galveston, is in the running, but so are a couple of other Texas towns. It’s like a real estate reality show, but with less drama and more naval architecture.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
The Drama of Dry Dock
Getting the USS Texas out of the water and into dry dock was no small feat. It was like trying to park a whale in a bathtub. But the ship's caretakers pulled it off, and now the real work can begin. They're patching up leaks, replacing rusty bits, and giving her a fresh coat of paint. It’s basically the ship equivalent of a deep clean.

The Future is Uncertain
So, where will this grand old lady end up? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe she’ll become a floating museum, a popular tourist attraction, or even a luxury hotel. Or, in a more dramatic turn of events, she could sink to the bottom of the ocean and become an artificial reef. Okay, let’s not get carried away.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
One thing’s for sure: the USS Texas is a piece of American history, and preserving her is important. So, here’s to hoping she finds a happy ending, whether that’s in Galveston, Baytown, or somewhere else entirely.
