Workmen are fitting out USS TEXAS (BB-35) at the Newport News Shipyard, Virginia. She is nearly ready for standardization trials.

Photographed on October 2, 1913.

"In this photograph, you can see the ship's name on the stern, three installed 5"/51 cal. guns, and both of the cage masts, which had not yet been completed.

Note: her boilers are lit and were probably testing her steam and electrical systems."
