U.S.S. Texas/New York-Class Battleship WW1

The New York-class battleships entered American service before the United States joined the First World War. USS New York served with the American battleship division attached to the British Grand Fleet, while USS Texas also operated with that force. Their 14-inch guns reflected contemporary dreadnought development; their wartime role differed from their later amphibious-bombardment service. Service with the Grand Fleet involved maintaining readiness for a possible major battle while operating within British command arrangements and North Sea conditions. These American ships contributed to Allied naval strength, even though their experience did not include another Jutland-scale engagement. Their significance lies in coalition operations as well as in the technical development of dreadnought battleships.
