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. Edward J. Mosco enlisted in the Navy on February 15, 1917, on the deck of the Battleship New Jersey (BB-16). He would later be stationed on Battleship Texas from March 31, 1917, as a S2c until his discharge on July 15, 1919, directly from Texas after final cessation of WWI hostilities. Honorable Discharge Certificates are issued upon separation with the military, and confirm the service history of a veteran.
