Context

Battleship Texas regularly worked on landmark achievements in aviation throughout the Atlantic Ocean from January 31 to June 4, 1919. 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.
