She's also the last of the Dreadnaught type.

Seeing Texas for the first time was uncanny because of the tripod mast. They were phased out on most older US battleships when refitted after 1942.

Looking at her from the bow and seeing the mast is like seeing the ghosts of Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma, USS Nevada. All had the same type foremast.
