Battleship Texas participated in various fleet maneuvers and exercises in the Atlantic Ocean (1919) and later Pacific Ocean from July 1919 through January 1924. Beginning in February 1923, maneuvers became known as Fleet Problems, which continued to 1939.
Liberty Passes were awarded to the crew of Battleship Texas when the ship made port. During that time, this pass allowed men to disembark from the ship. It wasn’t total freedom, they had strict time allowances.Collection
