If USS Texas had been torpedoed in 1941

What might have happened if USS Texas had been torpedoed by a German submarine in June 1941?

It would likely have created a major crisis and may have brought the United States into the war earlier, while prompting renewed attention to torpedo protection.

An attack on USS Texas in June 1941 would create a major political shock. A German submarine strike on a prominent American battleship could solve Roosevelt's difficulty in mobilizing support for entry into the European war. The incident would also provoke technical scrutiny of battleship torpedo defence and the protection of older ships. This counterfactual joins domestic politics to immediate naval design and readiness questions.
