Battleship Texas largely escorted Allied ships across the Atlantic from January 1943 to April 22, 1944. She mainly sailed from New York to either the UK, Gibraltar, or Casablanca. The crew of Battleship Texas made holiday cards and gifts for those back home, and occasionally held holiday events when in port.
