On D day the USS Texas couldn't physically elevate the guns any higher in their mounts to lob the shells at German positions as they retreated further from the ocean. So they intentionally took on water on one side of the ship, elevating the other side, and enabling the guns to shoot further.
*due to being so old she lacked the elevation and range of the other ships also participating.
