USS Texas to thank . . . . I was just up in Philadelphia taking a drydock tour of the battleship USS New Jersey, which is preserved as a museum ship in Camden, NJ. It has been in drydock at the Philadelphia Navy Shipyard for the first time in many years. The ship was built during World War II and is much larger than the battleship Texas -- about twice the tonnage. I'd mentioned to one of the New Jersey's staffers that I'd also visited the Texas when it was out of the water last December, and she remarked that the good experience with the USS Texas drydock tours is what encouraged the New Jersey's organization to offer the same sort of public access for their ship while it is high and dry. How about that?
