Context

Battleship Texas underwent post-war refitting in New York Navy Yard from December 26, 1918, to January 31, 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.
