Today, she’s permanently berthed in Cleveland, Ohio, where she serves as a museum ship. She belongs to the Gato class-one of the most famous U.S. submarine classes of World War II, comprising 77 ships.
As the story is a long and interesting one, we’ve divided this episode into two parts. The first is dedicated to the development history of the United States’ submarine fleet.
Naval Legends is a series about the construction, service, and daring deeds of legendary 20th-century ships.

The US Navy should have insisted that each crewman learn how to swim. I served in the US Army in the 70's and 80's and we all had to go through training to survive in water during a simulated river crossing. As I recall we did have one senior NCO who refused to go in the water. He said Nam didn't kill him and he was god damned if he was gonna drown in a pool in West Germany.

[@rtwfreak]

The USS Cod is also pretty famous in our Royal Dutch Navy. During WW2 in 1945 she saved the crew of our submarine HNLMS O19. And the grandfather of one of my former colleagues was part of the O19 crew at the time (he was Indonesian). Through my colleague I heard about the Cod and a party they threw in Australia for the crew of the Cod as a thanks. In return the crew from the Cod painted a cocktail glass with O19 on the tower next to the other trophy marks from sunken ships.

[@DOUGLAS55ish]

Even though I was on three Nuclear submarines which were much bigger than the USS COD, we still had similar problems of overcrowding on two of them. We still loaded torpedoes by hand on the USS HENRY CLAY SSBN625 and had to hot rack on the USS PUFFER SSN652 and the USS LOS ANGELES SSN688 . We even had to put food in every space we could when we did a Westpac on the USS PUFFER. We considered those WW2 submarine veterans heroes to be emulated 30 years after the war ended.

[@kevinboothe9991]

I was in Cleveland this past week and had the opportunity to tour the Cod as well as visit the Rock & Roll Hall of fame that is about a block away, also toured the Football HoF in Canton. Touring the Cod was my favorite, it gave me a new perspective, admiration and respect for those that served on the subs

[@jesusgutierrez-su2nl]

Yesterday mi wife and I went to visit this "Legend" of the US Navy. We enjoyed a lot this experience and we had the opportunity to learn more about the brave history of this ship and her crew during the II World Ward. Also, the people responsible for all the visitors were very nice and so courteous.

[@korbell1089]

It takes a special person to be a submariner, I was once offered the chance by a navy recruiter to join them and I laughed because personally there was no way in hell I would climb into one. I haven't ever visited an American sub but I have toured U505 and I have nothing but respect for the men who crewed her. A sincere bow to the men off all nations who are still on patrol.

[@Equinerhael]

I freaking cried…. A documentary made me cry! lol Props to the composer and musicians!

[@joecombs7468]

I've been on this boat. The most seaworthy submarine museum I have ever stepped aboard. She looks like she's ready for the maneuvering watch to be set.

[@_Dogberry_]

Cod sits in my home city, so happy Wargaming Did this episode on her. The Cod is such a blessing, I think she’s one of the only ships where you have to enter her through the original hatch the crew did-there’s no tourist cut-out.

[@PaleFolklore13]

"You have weeks of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror." Speaking as a SSGN/SSBN submariner this hasn't changed all that much. Especially when your first and second checkers don't know what they're doing on their rig for dive.

[@Chris-fo8wp]

Born and raised just south of Cleveland, been on The USS Cod about a dozen times, I can not imagine being a Submariner.....

[@audreytucker1279]

My grandfather was on the uss cod. He was very proud of this fact

[@MrPnhartley]

I’ve been on this beautifully preserved national treasure...very impressive. The lesson learned is ‘equipment comes first, people second’ - storage and bunks in EVERY nook and cranny!

[@boboala1]

Excellent mini-documentary on subs/Gatos and the USS Cod! I've been an amateur sub enthusiast for 5 decades but this video revealed tidbits of inner workings, ship life, and hazards endured I'd never known about. (Loved the artwork/logo on the shipkeeper's sweatshirt! This would fly equally well at a Grateful Dead concert as well for those who warned you way back in the day - 'Don't Tread on Me'!)

[@cameronhenson6143]

as a submariner myself it does not surprise me to hear about a cap and going into battle naked. Submariners are a breed all their own. Captain Atkins is a true American submarine hero

Awesome video!!! I'm from Northeast Ohio - Madison, Ohio to be exact - roughly 45 miles east of Cleveland and along the shores of beautiful Lake Erie. The USS COD is positioned between Burke Lake Front Airport and The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Also close by is a state memorial to Admiral Kidd - killed at Pearl Harbor aboard USS ARIZONA - who is from Cleveland. Have visited the USS COD a few times and those were great experiences. BIG THANKS for showing snippets of the Cleveland skyline and Lake Erie - have been living out on the prairies of Kansas for the past 25+ years, and sure do miss the sites of Cleveland and Lake Erie!!!!

I was on the Cod in the early 1980s when my dad took up to the Cleveland airshow.

Captain of U.S.S. COD : I once saw an elephant in my Pajamas fire a Mark 14 Torpedo at a Japanese warship. How the elephant sank a Japanese Warship with a Mark-14 Torpdeo I'll never know.

[@DarkLight753]

Silent Service is a good series of films showing some of the missions of the US subs in WW2. It was made in the 50's but don't let that put you off if you want to learn more. It's probably better than anything produced on TV these days. Best part is they are free to watch on KZbin.

[@GdaySport]

God rest the poor soul of the brave sailor washed overboard. I find it incredible that anyone could serve in the navy without being able to swim.

[@adityamusale5635]

I was on the Uss cod in 2016 three months before it was released in public. The deck lines were faded, when you take the stair down, My family took a private tour with one of the submariners who actually served on the uss cod. I was a really cool experience. By far, in 2016, it was really rusty and smelled like crap before it was repainted and restored.

[@Dagger4]

Visiting the USS Cod will always be one of my fondest childhood recollections. I took my wife a few years ago and hope to take my kids someday.

Thank you for doing this. It is SO important that those people who can should keep History alive and available. It's good to know that supporting a game by buying ships and other components of World of Warships is helping to promote History telling. Schools are failing to teach, so through games and other media human History must be told. Keep it truthful, feature all the Naval History from all countries as time and money allows. Again, thank you for doing this important work.

Up to the time the Navel Dept . finally admitted that there is a problem with the torpideo's . There was only a one time test of the fish . One functioned and detonated properly . The second shot functioned properly But did not detonate . That was the first and last test of our US torpedoes . Congress told the Navy Dept . Not to do any more tests because of the cost of each torpedoes was too much for wasting them on tests . Later in the war it was the Submariners who fixed the problem . Removing the Magnetic detonators and changing the mane firing pin .

[@hawkeye5955]

The magnetic detonators weren't the only problem. The early war USN torpedoes ran too deep because the Bureau of Ordinance tested the torpedoes without the warheads in place. B Ord insisted the captains were at fault for not setting the proper depth on their torpedoes.
