Very informative and well done by all the volunteers.
Just go. It’s really that simple
The guys are very knowledgeable, and I really enjoyed my visit! Would come back again!
the people were amazing and love to tell stories of the boat.
The tour was exceptional. I had gone on this tour about 12-13 years ago. I felt like I had never been there before, it was fresh and new. We took my 9 and 12 year old as well. The tour had their attention the whole time. I definitely suggest this adventure for families. It is right quarters.
We had a fantastic time. We will be back!
Very cool unique experience, One I will always remember!
So much fun! The staff were very nice and had great stories.
From Our Editors
In the summer of 1945, during the waning days of World War II, a feat of heroism took place in the waters of the Gulf of Siam. That's where the crew of the USS Cod, a Gato-class submarine under the command of the US Navy, performed the first (and, to this day, only) international sub-to-sub rescue, saving the crew of a Dutch submarine that had run aground on a treacherous reef. This milestone is still celebrated aboard the sub today; now a floating museum in Cleveland's North Coast Harbor, the sub gives self-guided tour groups a glimpse into the most celebrated era of American military history. Read on to learn more:
- Sub specs: The USS Cod is 312 feet long and weighs 1,500 tons. During its war service, it carried a crew of 97 men, as well as 24 torpedoes packed with 15,000 pounds of explosives.
- Wartime feats: In addition to its celebrated rescue, the Cod was also responsible for sinking more than 36,000 tons of Axis shipping.
- Cleveland connection: The sub's five diesel generators were built in Cleveland and have been restored to full operation.
