I live in Cleveland Ohio. The USS Cod is docked downtown in lake Erie right next to Burke Lakefront Airport. When I was a kid in the boy scouts I got to go inside the USS Cod. It is still in great condition. I know they fired the deck gun a couple years ago. Also a while ago they sailed the submarine to Erie PA for reconditioning of the hull. It is an awesome little boat. There is not much room insidr. I don't know how 80 to 90 men could be comfortable going out at sea for months of the time especially during wartime. I was very impressed by this old boat.

I've been aboard the USS Cod. It is an awesome submarine. It is parked here in Cleveland right by a Burk lakefront airport. When I was in the Cub scouts back in the 70s we toured it. I was only 12 and it seems small to me then. I can only imagine how crowded it would be with 80 adults on it.

My grandpa and Dad are both Navy Veterans, WWII/Korea and Vietnam, respectively. When I was six or seven they took me downtown to visit the Cod (I have visited her MANY times since). There happened to be a gentleman present who served on her in WWII and he took me everywhere on that ship, even areas that aren’t open to the public (if memory serves me correctly he was a volunteer staff member). He also told me lots of stories, this being one of them. I will never forget that, I just wish I was old enough at the time to truly appreciate it because I should’ve peppered him with questions for hours on end. I mean I did ask him the generics such as “what was it like?” and “Were you scared?” The kind of questions one would expect from a first grade kid.

When this series was on television I watched it religiously. Thought at the time I wanted to serve aboard one of those boats. Navy wanted me to enlist for 6 years, but a year before HS graduation one of the Nuclear Subs was lost. Decided I wanted to be an air crewman instead just before leaving for boot camp. Recruiter screwed up my training. Only aircraft I flew in was a chopper on border patrol around GTMO and a C-130 on a leave flight home through Norfolk, VA. This was filmed on the USS Sawfish. A FOP Lodge 70 Brother was stationed on the Sawfish.

If you are talking about the USS Thresher. It's going down might have changed your carrier plans but it also contributed to the Navy revamping the design and building methods for all Submarines to follow. It was a sad way to learn a lesson but we did and now quality control AKA Sub-Safe, is the top priority for every sub from the time the kneel is laid to its decommissioning.

Donald Hill, Unfortunately, in any branch of the military, and for that matter, civilian life, it can and does take a major accident or tragic loss of life to instigate changes in how things are designed built and operated, and I doubt whether it is any consolation to the loved ones of such events that their loss will probably save the lives of many other people. I lost an old friend when the helicopter he was flying aboard and doing a routine airborne test of it crashed killing everyone aboard, and it was not long before it was discovered that a vital part of a gearbox had been incorrectly fitted by a company that had carried out a major overhaul of the gearbox, after further inspections on other aircraft it was discovered that quite a few had incorrectly components, had the helicopter not crashed when it did many others could, more likely would, have died, after this tragic loss the system of overhauling these gearboxes and quite a few other related items was completely and utterly changed. It is unfortunate and saddening that it had to happen as it did but at least nobody else had to die before the fault was discovered and rectified. RIP PW, Lest We Forget, even though this was a peacetime accident I believe that PW and those that died that day should be remembered just as we remember those that die in combat.

The pilots brought the plane back and it landed safely but a flight attendant flew out of the plane andva search by coast guard, fire department and surface vessels failed to recover a body. There were thousands of microfractures that had gotten too large and went past sections to prevent microfractures from growing. There were a number of planes with similar microfractures and new inspection requirements for all aircraft were adopted.

I loved EVERY second of this show BUT when the Cod's captain looked through his periscope and saw an eye-level view of squadrons of incoming Japanese aircraft, I was stunned at the 80 years of technological differences in film productions entirely and instantly. Who, then-to-now, noticed the tiny detail that sub's periscopes don't deliver birds-eye-views of the enemy aircraft at 10,000 feet, but generations later of naval submariners and naval aviators? Just saying.
