<< Flood the starboard torpedo blister! >> << Sir, the ship will sink starboard-first! >> << And thatll give the guns the elevation they need! HAHAHA! >>
iirc the context is that during D-Day the crew flooded the watertight compartments on 1 side of the ship to create a list (tilt) so that the guns could fire at the german positions on the coast Edit: It wasnt the watertight compartments but the torpedo blister/bulge, and it wasnt on D-Day but rather on June 15. From wikipedia: After that, she retired to Plymouth to rearm, returning to the French coast on 11 June. From then until 15 June, she supported the army in its advance inland. By 15 June, the troops had advanced to the edge of Texass gun range; her last fire support mission was so far inland that to get the needed range, the starboard torpedo blister was flooded with water to provide a list of two degrees which gave the guns enough elevation to complete the fire mission. With combat operations beyond the range of her guns on 16 June, Texas left Normandy for England on 18 June.
