Battleships

The USS Texas a New York Class battleship...but she had a different name when she was first commissioned....

Super Dreadnought.

In fact she's the only Dreadnought left in the world. One of six ships that served in both WW1 and WW2, earning five battlestars over her 34 years of service. She was the first US battleship to become a museum and first to be declared a national historic site.

Plus she looks damn good for 100 years old.
