I always found it rather ironic (and appropriate) that the last battleship-on-battleship engagement of the war (Surigao Strait) involved most of the surviving battleships from the Pearl Harbor raid.

Revived this old thread because tomorrow August 31 the Battleship Texas will be moving. She is being moved from San Jacinto to Galveston for repairs. Even if she is just being towed it will be a chance to see a WWI dreadnought moving on the water, don’t get many of those. Event will be live streamed. More info here
