At 105 years old, the former USS Texas is the last surviving dreadnought type battleship in the world. She's also been in salt water essentially all that time. The old girl ships about 350 tons of water every day. Pumps keep up with that, but eventually, she'll fall apart.
The current preservation plan is to build a dryberth around her. The problem is, her hull plating and her framework along her bottom are so compromised that she would essentially collapse if she were dryberthed right now. So they are reinforcing the keel and plating along most of the length of the ship, a drawn out, and difficult process, but an interesting one to watch.
