The Battleship Texas, above, moored at
the San Jacinto Battlegrounds since April
21, 1948, is the subject of an extensive —
and life-saving — restoration project. Jim
Browder of Fort Worth, creator of “Aggie
Cookbook II,” is one of many individuals
and companies throughout the state who is
searching for a way to contribute to the
floating veteran of World War I and II.
Browder has announced that 30 percent of
the proceeds from the cookbook will be
donated to the “Save Battleship Texas”
fund.

ship of the U.S. escort fleet that
assumed command of the con-
quered ships.
Following the first global conflict,
the battleship was refitted. One of
the largest, strongest ships in the
fleet, it circled the world during the
turbulent 1920s and ’30s, a symbol of
America’s military might, Carter
said.
“It’s hard to imagine, with all our
modern technology, but at the time
it was commissioned this ship was
the most fearsome military ship on
the planet,” Carter said, describing
the Texas’ glory days.
Prior to the United States’ entry
into World War II, the Texas was
again active in the North Atlantic as
a member of the convoy that es-
corted precious Lend-Lease mate-
rials to Great Britain.
Although he hasn’t paid a recent
visit to the state’s floating name-
sake, Browder has fond regard for
the veteran warship, which that his
family has toured on several occa-
sions.
“If you loose something like that,
you never get it back, ” he observed.
"It's hard to imagine, with all our modern
technology, but at the time it was
commissioned this ship was the most
fearsome military ship on the planet."

Did you hear the one about the
Aggie fan who wanted to do some-
thing to help a sinking battleship?
He wrote a cookbook.
It’s no Aggie joke: Volume 2 of
The Aggie Cookbook rolled off the
presses last fall, complete with a
pledge by creator Jim Browder to
donate 50 cents of each $4 mail-
order sale to the “Save Battleship
Texas” fund.
Browder — writer and editor of
the highly successful Aggie Cook-
book I — hit upon the idea of donat-
ing 30 percent of the cookbook’s net
profits after seeing a number of
television reports on the U.S.S.
Texas’ deteriorating condition.
“I got interested in that when they
started a campaign last year to col-
lect aluminum cans,” Browder rec-
alled. “I just thought I wanted to do
more. When I wrote the Aggie cook-
book last fall, I just decided to give a
little bit of it to the Battleship
Texas.”
“Aggie Cookbook II,” subtitled
“Vegetable, Mineral, or Aggie?”
contains the same mix of kitchen
tips, hick cuisine and menu plans
that made its predecessor an in-
stant success.
Divided into a dozen sections, the
paperback publication contains
chapters on gourmet tips (always
bake chocolate cakes — they don’t
show dirt), main dishes, fast food
(Sushi recipe: step one, catch fish;
step two, serve), school food, diet
and dessert. Only one item from the
first volume appears in the newest
publication: a recipe for Elephant
Stew, which proved to be the most
popular entry in the first cookbook.
“It’s just kind of off-the-wall —
kind of crazy,” Browder said of the
book. “I love these things — I have
no idea where I come up with
them.”
The Aggie cookbooks are a spin-
off of the famous — or infamous,
depending on your loyalties —
Aggie Calendar, a Browder cre-
ation that features an original car-
toon for each month and an Aggie
one-liner for each day of the year.

Relegated to the “Old Fleet” by
the explosion of new technology that
accompanied the war, the Texas
nevertheless was on hand to support
the first invasion of North Africa.
The Lone Star State’s namesake
then returned to convoy duty before
being called in as a support ship for
the historic D-Day landing at Nor-
mandy, Carter said. It’s big guns
and tremendous firing power also
earned the ship a piece of the action
when the Allies tackled Cherbourg
on the French coast — the last Ger-
man stronghold.
Following its action in the
European theater, the Texas was
spruced up before taking part in the
final action of the Pacific cam-
paign, Carter said. It concluded its
World War II career as a member of
the Magic Carpet Fleet, returning
Americans to their homeland after
Japan surrendered, she added.
After the war, the government
found one more useful duty for the
weary battleship: a floating prac-
tice target for U.S. military planes.
However, Fredericksburg-born
Adm. Chester W. Nimitz rescued
his native state’s namesake, and
