The only surviving pre-World War I dreadnought battleship, the USS Texas served as flagship for the 1944 D-Day invasion of Europe, commanded by Texas-born Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Visitors can climb narrow steps up to the flying bridge and explore deep into below-deck areas, including the engine room, sleeping quarters and medical facilities.
