What USS Texas and South Dakota reveal in one comparison

The guide's armour, length, and crew figures allow a direct comparison between USS Texas and South Dakota.

Notes

The guide places USS Texas beside South Dakota and supplies several categories for a Top Trumps comparison. Its printed deck-armour figures are two and a half inches for Texas and one and a half inches for South Dakota, while turret armour is fourteen and eighteen inches respectively. Texas is the shorter ship in the comparison. Listed complements of 1,054 and 1,793 prompt a remark about the size of American crews.
