USS Texas

[GoldenRivet]

For those interested (especially if you made the last subsim meet)

I have long heard that the USS Texas is depicted by computer animation shelling the island of Iwo Jima in the movie "Flags of our Fathers".

I have found the scene and it looks just like her :rock:

she appears at about 6 seconds in letting loose with a full broadside :salute:

pause it at 6 seconds and compare to this image

You are correct. The same scene was used in "Letters from Iwo Jima" as well.:up:

It's listed in the trivia section of IMDB.com for both movies.

Nice find, GR:up: As many times as I've seen that movie, I'm a little embarrassed I didn't notice it myself.

Yes indeed, great find! I didn't catch it either.:rock:
