That's a lot of talk about the ship's guns but did USS Texas ever get an ice cream machine?

No one ever asks about that. Yes, during World War II she had a soda fountain.

It was located on the 2nd deck and you could get both soda and ice cream there.

Thanks for the ask.

Grinding the lower tiers once more

So as I started grinding another campaign in World of Warships, namely the  Five Epochs of the Navy campaign, I find myself playing more lower tier ships again. Actually that was the perfect excuse to get started in some lines I had shamefully neglected. 

The tier 4 British battleship Orion was a blast to play even though I only used a 3 point commander on her - so no seals were harmed this time I think. I will definitely continue grinding that line, considering that I still got several Azur Lane commander for RN ships as well who I haven’t put to use yet.

Shenyang the Pan-Asian Tier 4 destroyer was another fun ship I shamefully overlooked. She’s the former IJN Namikaze a Minekaze class destroyer  transferred to the Republic of China Navy after WWII but got American guns and torpedoes. Extremly fast and nimble and a very good gunboat for her tier too. Definitely a keeper - like Orion is.

“She wore mirrored glasses. Her clothes were black, the heels of her black boots deep in the temper foam. […] The glasses were surgically inset, sealing her sockets. The silver lenses seemed to grow from smooth pale skin above cheekbones, framed by dark hair cut in a rough shag. The fingers curled around the fletcher were slender, white tipped with polished burgundy. The nails looked artificial.”

The Bunte Kuh by Hans Bordt, 1911

The Bunte Kuh (colourful cow) was probably snekkja, often depicted as a cog, which as one of the flagships of the Hanseatic fleet (she was the flagship of the city of Hamburg) led the attack on the German pirate Klaus Störtebeker in 1401.
