  • Commanding Officers of Battleship Texas Albert Weston Grant 12
    Commanding Officers Of Battleship Texas Albert Weston Grant 12 March 14-10 June 15 As the first CO, taking command at commissioning, Grant was a Texas Plank Owner. He began his time in the Navy in sailing ships and ended his career in Texas, the most advanced ship of her time. During his lengthy and distinguished career he served in and commanded a wide array of naval vessels, watching the evolution of modern naval warfare and the United States becoming a world naval power. Along the way he was involved with bringing the modern innovation of electricity to naval vessels. He was given command of Texas as the Navy wanted its greatest officer to have command of its greatest new ship. Grant was commander when President Wilson sent her to Vera Cruz for her first deployment in the service of her nation. Carrying on the tradition of Grant’s great naval family, his great-great grandson is a naval officer today. John Hood 10 June 15-14 August 16 Hood’s career is more remembered as one of the finest instructors at the Naval Academy and in training vessels. Prior to gaining renown as a teacher, he had had more bad luck than good at sea. He was a junior officer serving in USS Kearsarge when she ran aground and sank on Rocandar Reef, and was in USS Maine when she blew up and sank in Havana Harbor. Later in his career while on the General Board he created a plan to expand Navy to complete 48 battleships by 1925.
