The guided missile cruiser GALVESTON is the third American fighting ship to carry the name of the Texas Gulfcoast port city. The first GALVESTON was a wooden brig built in Baltimore in 1840 for the Texas Navy. She was 110 feet long and carried 14 cannon. The two-masted sailifig ship saw action during Texas ' war with Mexico, engag- ing sailing ships and steam vessels of the Mexican Navy and making sorties and landings along the Mexican coast. Often the Mexicans had larger guns, 42 pounders in some cases, as well as the first explosive shot as opposed to the older solid shot. The steam vessels had a large maneuver- ing advantage over the older sailing ship. Despite these disadvantages, GALVESTON always got the best of her opponeyUs. In 1846 GALVESTON became part of the U.S. Navy. In 1848, after having her name changed, she was sold for $400,000. The second GALVESTON was a third class cruiser built in 1903. The small cruiser (pictured here) saw duty in both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets and was part of the U.S. Navy in World War I. At various times she was employed as a convoy escort ship or a: a part of the old China Fleet. H T
