Sure, you may have known that The Republic of Texas has a standing Army, and you may have known that Texas has it's own Air Force, but now Texas is building a Navy.

Technically, Texas has the Texas National Guard, and the Texas Air National Guard. (Though that may not exactly be an Army and Air Force, most everybody in Texas has at least 5 firearms and lots of ammo, so we could raise an Army PDQ... and in a pinch we could always get the DPS to loan a couple of Texas Rangers.)

Now Texas is ramping up abilities to protect state waterways with a "Navy"... Check out these pics of the new "TNS 1" (Texas Naval Ship)...
