Context

Battleship Texas conducted several escort missions for the Allied Powers throughout the Atlantic Ocean from December 7, 1941, to July 29, 1942. Battleship Texas had her own post office. All mail passed through a censor before leaving the ship. Once the package is checked, it was stamped with a “U.S.S. TEXAS” stamp. If in a port, mail could carry the markers of the post office on shore.
