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. Lawrence J. Gaddis was a musician on Battleship Texas from 1920 to 1922. He collected many souvenirs and performed on and off the ship during his travels in Pacific waters for Fleet Maneuvers and cruises to South America.
