USS Texas (BB-35) was an American battleship laid down in 1911, launched in May 1912, and commissioned in the US Navy in March 1914. The length of the ship was 175 m, width - at the time of launching - 29 m, and the full displacement - 28,800 tons. The maximum speed of the USS Texas battleship was around 21-22 knots. The main armament was 10 356 mm guns in five turrets, two guns each, and the secondary armament was primarily 21 127 mm guns.

USS Texas was the second and last battleship of the New York class. The battleships of this were essentially improved Wyoming-type units. The main change was to use a larger caliber main artillery (356 mm instead of 305 mm). In contrast, the armor structure was close to that of the Wyoming type and did not follow the "all or nothing" principle. In general, the New York-class battleships had good artillery armament, strong armor, but low top speed. The USS Texas (BB-35) ship spent a significant part of 1917 on overhaul and repairs at bases on the east coast of the USA. It was not until February 1918 that he joined the British Grand Fleet operating in the North Sea, but he did not have time to take part in any major clash with Hochseeflotte. Instead, he was present at its surrender in November 1918 in the Firth of Forth. USS Texas spent the beginning of the interwar period in the Pacific Fleet, performing numerous representative functions in the meantime. He definitely returned to the Atlantic in 1937. From the beginning of the next world war, it operated mainly in the Atlantic, covering American convoys heading towards Great Britain. In 1942, he continued his escort service, but reached their cover of South Africa and to Guadalcanal in the Pacific. In November of that year (1942), he was designated as a landing cover for the Allied forces in North Africa (Operation Torch). For a large part of the years 1943-1944 he continued his convoy service, but in June 1944 he took part in Operation Overlord, i.e. the Allied landing in Normandy, and in July of the same year - in the Allied landing in southern France (Operation Dragon). In 1945 he was redirected to the Pacific and took part in operations against Iwo-Jima and Okinawa. USS Texas was decommissioned in 1948 and is now a museum ship.
