• The battleship USS Texas returned to the water after months of dry-dock restoration work.
• The battleship is famous for its involvement in both World War I and World War II.

The warship, which saw action in both world wars before becoming a museum ship, will now undergo further restoration before re-opening up to the public late next year.
