Battleship Texas was flagship of the United States Fleet from September 1, 1927, to September 15, 1931. Admirals Wiley, Pratt, and Chase served as Commander-in-Chief, United States Fleet in that time. Orville L. Johnson enlisted into the Marine Corps on December 19, 1927. He later joined the crew of Battleship Texas from June 6, 1928, to May 1930. Johnson collected hundreds of photographs throughout his time on Texas and competed in the rowing championships held within the fleet. Many crew members kept photo albums that each have hundreds of photos chronicling their service onboard.
