The Republic of Texas Navy continued their mission of carrying Space Force or Marine starfighters to battle after Contact. The vast majority of their ships were Houstons or Laredos, though they also kept limited numbers of light carriers like the Republics or the Rangers. The new gravtech gave both ships and fighters far longer ranges than before, and offered entirely new doctrines in every phase of warfare. Texas was quick to test the fighter combat doctrines, and the lessons they learned were quickly incorporated into the United States Navy as well. While never the heaviest navy by tonnage in the United States, the Texas Navy’s starfighter doctrine became second-to-none in the decades leading up to The War.
