Tout se passe bien pour L'Hermione. La frégate vient de passer le canal du four au large du Finistère.

The museum’s interpretive mission is to display the ship in her 1945 configuration. In my previous post I mentioned the addition of her ten 40mm quad mounts in 1989, which were acquired for use aboard the ship over time, having been originally removed from Texas by the USN around 1946. Her 3”/50 battery, ten mounts in total, was essentially obsolete by 1945, and thus left aboard; without Remote Power Control the USN considered 3” guns to be too slow to combat aircraft effectively. New mounts would make them relevant again in the fleet, but that did not affect BB-35. Her 20mm battery of 44 guns was reduced down to eight by the time she became a museum; today the incomplete fit of these Oerlikon cannons is one of only four noticeable anachronisms with her 1945 configuration. Their absence is clear in the gun tub atop Turret II in the first photo, where two circular mounting plates sit empty.

Texas wore five different paint schemes during WWII, and is the only museum battleship portrayed in Measure 21, an overall 5-N Navy Blue measure that she carried during Pacific operations in 1945. Her decks, now painted 20-B Deck Blue, are the result of a recent donation effort. Note how numerous the various mounts on her superstructure are; plenty of volunteer projects for the future.
-
In addition to being the first US battleship to mount AA, Texas was also the first US battleship to launch an airplane, flying a Sopwith Camel off Turret II on 10 March 1919. By WWII, Texas had a catapult on Turret III, which is no long installed and is her second visible anachronism.
-
Texas was the second US battleship to mount radar, a CXZ set in December 1938, behind her sister which received a competing XAF set that February. As a result of these trials, Texas received a modern CXAM-1 set in October 1941; in October 1944, her mainmast was drastically reconfigured to include the SK antenna she mounts now. A director is missing from the top platform. Her bell, one of her air castle 5”/51 mounts, and her forward guns round out this set of photos. For more on her secondary battery, check out my post from 11 February.
