ORIGINAL: pry The Big Guns… (reduced quality) Battleship Texas forward 14"/45's taking aim at the San Jacinto Monument [image]local://upfiles/8092/Ki183294659.jpg[/image] I love the Texas memorial. Funny story I found out from my grandad after I went there a few years back. He was on the Mississippi 1943-1945, and was a gun captain in turret II (Yes, during Surigao Strait). After Tokyo Bay, he was sent back to the states on board the Texas. He made the comment that the Texas was the slowest ship he was ever on. He made it seem like she had to force herself to go at cruising speed.
