Aug. 31 (UPI) -- Battleship Texas, the only remaining U.S. Navy ship that saw action in World War I and World War II, is heading to Galveston, Texas, for an extensive, $35 million repair.
The 108-year-old vessel was commissioned in 1914 and was considered one of the most powerful weapons in the world at the time. According to the ship's website, it helped reinforce the British blockade of Germany during World War I.
