John M. Posted March 9 Posted March 9 (edited) We discussed the Texas in another thread sometime back so here's an update on BB 35. She finally has a new homeport and her restoration work seems to be in the home stretch. She looks real good today. It's been a long four years since she first entered drydock.

johnyrotten Posted March 9 Posted March 9 I enjoy that people save history like this, I've had the fortunate opportunity to visit the Slater here in Albany. The outfit I work for made some things for it's restoration, so the boss and I got a "behind the scenes" tour. Awesome experience, very cool to talk with the guys working on it, a few of them actually served on that ship.

Goose1957 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Great to hear the good news. I wish the S.S. United States could have met a similar fate. Just can't save everything I guess. Jeff
