I live about 45 minutes south of Cleveland and visited her a few times; we are VERY proud and happy to have the Cod

[gumb]

Thank you Cleveland for knowing what a true treasure The Cod was. And Thank you Paul Farace for an amazing tour of the USS Cod

My Grandfather Donald Besse served aboard the U.S.S. COD patrols 2-6.
He was a GM3c



When they sunk the Destroyer Karukaya, it was crazy.
As the story goes, my grandpa knocked out a crewmate who was freaking out and screaming while they were getting depth charged.
I guess if they were going to get blown up, he wanted a little peace and quiet first.


They made it out of there, but I guess it was like pennies rattling around in a coke can, whole sub was shaking.

Awesome video

Ok, who else would have wanted to go down in the history as the captain who sank ships naked?

I would had never guess that a software game company would be so passionate enough to be an educator as well. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.

Wow, I have to say for what ultimately is an advertisement for your game, that was damn good documentary. I've lived in Cleveland my whole life and visited the Cod twice but never learned her history, thank you for making this!

How many U-Boats do you have?

Kriegsmarine: Yes

I live in Cleveland. The USS Cod is definitely one of the city's hidden treasures. All of my friends from out of town always want to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...which I always oblige, but there's always a detour afterwards to the USS Cod museum.

[cphrpunk]

Always a great one to see in Cleveland, they keep her in immaculate shape, I’ve enjoyed every trip there.

[joypops]

Absolutely Beautiful.
Thank you World Of Warships for these very emotional and inspiring documentaries about ships that were Legends.

Crewman: captain can you please put some pants on?
Captain: nuts .

To the crew(s) of the USS COD, Thank you for your service. The only reason the USAF got me was the fact that the naval recruiting office was out to otherwise I was small enough and intelligent enough to have qualified for "The Silent Service" when I was looking to join the Navy back in '64. USAF recruiters were in the office next door ! Such is Fate.

I visited Cleveland and went aboard the Cod about 10 years ago. I wore my Navy submarine ball cap and was amazed at the welcome I received... they rolled out the red carpet for a fellow dolphin wearing submariner. Ironic that her hull number is 224 because my old sub had hull number 624. The Cod does not have a “hole” punched in her like other tourist subs and you really have to be careful when you board her. I thank all that welcomed me on that day and I especially thank everyone that keeps her preserved.

The USS Cobia is another Gato-class Diesel-electric sub that saw service in WWII, now turned into a floating museum, up in Manitowoc, WI. I was a tour guide on it for a while.

[ronaldwarren]

The USS Silversides submarine is now a museum based near Lake Michigan in Muskegon, Michigan. I have visited her several times.

My mother’s cousin commanded three subs in WWII. He retired as a Rear Admiral, Sank about 55K tons. His last command was the USS Cutlass. It is still a war ready vessel, part of the Taiwanese navy, the Sea lion. In 2019 she got a $19M retrofit. Mark Felton has done a short video on her. My cousin was Herbert Lollis Jukes, USNA Class of ‘32

I'm 12 turning 13 in April and I've been watching these since I was 9 and I still love this

[ratsnyder]

Really loved this video. But I find it just a little interesting that no mention was made of the USS Gar, which the Cod replaced at that same berthing location in Cleveland. When I was a kid in Cleveland, just shy of 70 years ago, my dad took me aboard her several times. That was a tight little boat. Been on the Cod too. Hope to again soon.

When you go fishing and suddenly realized you just fished up a cod...
