USS COD

So glad we stopped by to see the USS Cod!nVery well restored WWII submarine. You really get a feel of what life was like for our brave sailors who served in a submarine.nThe volunteers are packed with knowledge. And several served on it... so they have firsthand knowledge.nWatch your head! It is a sub... so not a lot of headroom.nMy 8 year old son really enjoyed the visit. And we got to see the Coast Guard pull in to dock!

Toured this submarine with the Cub Scouts in 1964. Great for children.nGo back in time...

We stumbled unexpectedly upon this amazingly preserved submarine from WWII and enjoyed getting to explore the entire thing. The above and below decks are both open to the public and offer a glimpse into the inner operations of the vessel during the war. The volunteers were incredibly friendly fountains of information. A great activity if you're in Cleveland.

Beautifully restored ww2 submarine. Me and my family had a blast from the past taking a look at this wonderful memorial. You start out by entering the back hatch and climb down a manhole via ladder. When you descend the ladder you feel as though you’re a soldier yourself. Once you get to the bottom and enter the ship you’re greeted by a pleasant sight. Everything looks dated and of the time period, but maintained and in good condition and rehabilitated, fresh paint, etc to where it not only feels authentic to the era, but also makes you feel like you’re really on the ship in 43’ and it’s still new. Beautifully done. Nothing looks out of place or not original. As you make your way through the ship you get to see living quarters, kitchen, communications room, all sorts of things that sparks interest and makes one intrigued. You get a good feel for what it was like for a soldier on the ship and the obstacles they had to deal with and overcome living on a ship/submarine of the sorts for a long period of time. I’m a taller gentleman (6’9), and FYI I was able to make my way through the ship. My biggest issue personally was getting out as there isn’t a lot of room for your legs to bend climbing out. I’d highly recommend to any history buff or someone who needs something to do. The gentlemen who volunteer and operate the memorial are very knowledgeable and helpful in asking any question pertaining to the ship. 10/10 would recommended

Had a great time exploring the vessel. Very informative.nnA few words of warning though: the inside of the sub is a bit cramped, and if they are discharging the guns (don't know if this is an everyday thing) they are LOUD - my dad (who was already hard of hearing) claims they caused further damage. Even so he still enjoyed it and we'd go again
