uss texas

Three ships of the United States Navy have borne (and a fourth will soon bear) the name USS ''Texas'', in honor of Texas, a region that, after being taken from its natives by first Spain and then Mexico, and later becoming an independent republic, was admitted to the United States as the 28th state on December 29, 1845.

The first Texas was the Navy's first battleship, which served from 1895 until 1911.
The second Texas (BB-35) was a dreadnought battleship that served in both World Wars.
The third Texas (DLGN/CGN-39) was the second Virginia-class nuclear guided missile cruiser.
The fourth Texas (SSN-775) will be the second Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine when she joins the fleet in 2005.
