## Former National Historic Landmark in Texas

| | Landmark name | Image | Date of designation | Date of withdrawal | Locality | County | Description |
| 1 | USS Cabot (CVL-28) | | June 21, 1990 (90000334) | August 7, 2001 | Brownsville | Cameron | The Cabot was the last remaining of nine former Independence-class light aircraft carriers built in late 1943. War correspondent Ernie Pyle dubbed her the "Iron Maiden" as she served in nearly every major Pacific battle of WW II during her service without repair stops earning her nine battle stars and a Presidential Unit Citation. She would later be transferred to the Spanish Navy where she would serve from 1967 to 1989 as the SNS Dédalo. She was later purchased by preservation interests and returned to the U.S. first at New Orleans and then moored at Brownsville in 1997. As fund-raising efforts for her rehabilitation were ultimately unsuccessful, she was scrapped for salvage in 2000. |
