Guns of USS Texas
Probably the most visible part of what makes a battleship a battleship are her guns - both the enormous main batteries and the dozens of smaller guns that dot the deck and superstructure. And the guns of USS Texas, fired at D-Day, at Iwo Jima, even at Wake Island - have their stories to tell.
