Just a reminder to everyone. This USS Texas is NOT the same USS Texas that will be covered in "Rise of the Battleship II". That vessel became obsolete and was decommissioned and sunk as a target ship prior to the launch of the WWI battleship currently under consideration.

Jeff,

That would be the pre-dreadnsught USS Texas launched in 1892 America's first battleship. I doubt there will be much confusion since this is a CoD thread.

I would encourage you to start some pre-dread threads.

Aaron,

But since in a number of navies, the Pre-Dreads were used in WWI, I thought it prudent to explain that these two USS Texases were different ships so that when RotB2 comes out they didn't presume that the problem was solved.
