 | 732k | THE BATTLESHIP TEXAS STRIPPED FOR A FIGHT No gladiator ever looked more fit for a combat than the Texas as she steamed into Hampton Roads and cast anchor with the flying squadron. The Texas and the Massachusetts (BB-2) are designed to do the heavy fighting, and it is figured that the new flying squadron is amply sufficient to oppose the one coming from Cadiz. The machinery of the Texas was made by the Richmond Locomotive and Machine Works and has never given the least cause for complaint. |
