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.
The Washington Naval Treaty was signed in 1922, ending new battleship construction for ten years. As a result, Battleship Texas underwent significant modernization from July 31, 1925, to November 23, 1926.
Many crew members kept photo albums that each have hundreds of photos chronicling their service onboard.Collection
