'''USS ''Cod'' (SS/AGSS/IXSS-224)''' is a {{sclass|Gato|submarine}}, the only vessel of the [[United States Navy]] to be named for the [[cod]], an important and very popular food fish of the [[Atlantic cod|North Atlantic]] and [[Pacific cod|North Pacific]] oceans. She was [[ship naming and launching|launched]] on 21 March 1943, and [[ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 21 June 1943.

''Cod'' is now a [[National Historic Landmark]], preserved as a [[museum ship]] and [[memorial]] permanently moored in [[Cleveland, Ohio]], and is open to visitors daily from May to November.

==Construction and commissioning==
''Cod''{{'s}} [[Keel laying|keel was laid down]] by the [[Electric Boat Company]] at [[Groton, Connecticut]], on 21 July 1942. The submarine's four main Cleveland Model 16-248 [[V16 engine|V16]] [[diesel engine]]s and one Cleveland Model 8-268 [[Auxiliary power unit|auxiliary diesel engine]] were built by [[Electro-Motive Diesel|General Motors]] [[Cleveland Diesel Engine Division]] on Cleveland's west side. She was [[Ceremonial ship launching|launched]] on 21 March 1943, sponsored by Mrs. G.M. Mahoney, and [[Ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 21 June 1943 with [[Commander (United States)|Commander]] [[James C. Dempsey]], USN in command. Commander Dempsey had already won fame by sinking the first Japanese [[destroyer]] lost in [[World War II]] while in command of the submarine {{USS|S-37|SS-142}}.

==World War II==

On 30 August 1943, the American [[Type C1 ship|Type C1-B]] [[cargo ship]] SS ''Alcoa Patriot'' opened gunfire on ''Cod'' in the [[Caribbean Sea]] at {{coord|12|25|N|076|03|W}}, about {{convert|120|nmi}} north-northwest of [[Barranquilla, Colombia]], and {{convert|330|nmi}} east of the northern entrance to the [[Panama Canal]]. Less than three hours later, ''Alcoa Patriot'' again sighted ''Cod'' and fired on her at {{coord|12|02|N|076|04|W}}, about {{convert|105|nmi}} northwest of Barranquilla and {{convert|310|nmi}} east of the northern entrance to the [[Panama Canal]]. ''Cod'' suffered no damage or casualties in either incident.<ref>Hinman & Campbell, pp. 37–38.</ref>

===First patrol, October 1943 – January 1944 ===
''Cod'' arrived in [[Brisbane, Australia]], on 2 October 1943 to prepare for her first [[Patrolling|war patrol]]. She sailed from there 20&nbsp;days later. Penetrating the [[South China Sea]], she contacted few targets, and launched an attack only once, on 29 November, with unobserved results. She returned to [[Fremantle, Australia]], to refit from 16 December 1943 to 11 January 1944.

===Second patrol, February 1944 – March 1944 ===
''Cod'' put to sea for her second war patrol in the South China Sea, off [[Java (island)|Java]], and off [[Halmahera]]. On 16 February, she surfaced to sink a [[sampan]] by gunfire, and on 23 February, [[torpedo]]ed a Japanese [[cargo ship|merchantman]]. She sent another to the bottom on 27 February, ''Taisoku Maru'' (2,473 tons) and two days later attacked a third, only to be forced deep by a concentrated [[depth charge|depth charging]] delivered by a Japanese escort ship.

===Third patrol, March 1944 – June 1944 ===
Refitting at Fremantle again from 13 March – 6 April 1944, ''Cod'' sailed to the [[Sulu Sea]] and the South China Sea off [[Luzon]] for her third war patrol. On 10 May, she attacked a heavily escorted [[convoy]] of 32 ships and sank the [[destroyer]] [[Japanese destroyer Karukaya|''Karukaya'']] and cargo merchantman ''Shohei Maru'' (7,256 tons) before the escorts drove her down with [[depth charges]]. She returned to Fremantle to replenish on 1 June 1944.

===Fourth patrol, July 1944  – August 1944 ===
''Cod'' was put to sea again 3 July on her fourth war patrol. She ranged from the coast of Luzon to Java. She sank the converted [[net tender]], ''Seiko Maru'' (708 tons) on 3 August, and a [[landing craft]], ''LSV-129'', on 14 August, and, once more successful, she returned to Fremantle 25 August.

===Fifth patrol, September 1944  – November 1944 ===
''Cod'' put to sea on her fifth war patrol 18 September 1944, bound for [[Philippines|Philippine]] waters. She made her first contact, a cargo ship, ''Tatsushiro Maru'' (6,886 tons) on 5 October, and sank it. Two days later, she inflicted heavy damage on a tanker. Contacting a large convoy on 25 October, ''Cod'' launched several attacks without success. With all her torpedoes expended, she continued to shadow the convoy for another day to report its position. In November she took up a lifeguard station off Luzon, ready to rescue carrier pilots carrying out the series of air strikes on Japanese bases which paved the way for the [[Battle of Leyte]] later that month.

''Cod'' returned to [[Pearl Harbor Naval Base]] on 20 November 1944, and sailed on to a stateside overhaul at [[Mare Island Naval Shipyard]], returning to [[Pearl Harbor]] on 7 March 1945.

===Sixth patrol, March 1945 – May 1945 ===
On 24 March she sailed from Pearl Harbor for the East China Sea on her sixth war patrol. Assigned primarily to lifeguard duty, she used her deck gun to sink a [[tugboat]] and its tow on 17 April, rescuing three survivors, and on 24 April launched an attack on a convoy which resulted in the most severe depth charging of her career. The next day, she sent the [[minesweeper (ship)|minesweeper]] ''W-41'' to the bottom. On 26 April ''Cod'' was threatened by a fire in the aft torpedo room, but the ship's crew brought the fire under control and manually launched a torpedo already in its tube before the fire could detonate it. QM2c Lawrence E. Foley and S1c Andrew G. Johnson were washed overboard while freeing the torpedo room hatch. Foley was recovered the next morning, but Johnson drowned during the night. This was ''Cod''{{'s}} only fatality during [[World War II]].<ref>McDaniel, J.T., Ed. (2005) ''USS Cod: American Submarine War Patrol Reports'', Riverdale, Georgia: Riverdale Books, pp. 241–242. {{ISBN|1-932606-04-1}}</ref>

===Seventh patrol, May 1945 – June 1946 ===
[[File:Hr. Ms. O 19 op rif.jpg|thumb|left|[[HNLMS O 19|''O-19'']] stuck on [[Ladd Reef]]]]
After refitting at [[Guam]] between 29 May and 26 June 1945, ''Cod'' put out for the [[Gulf of Siam]] and the coast of [[Indo-China]] on her seventh war patrol. On 9 and 10 July she went to the rescue of a grounded [[Royal Netherlands Navy|Dutch]] submarine, [[HNLMS O 19|''O-19'']], taking its crew on board and destroying the Dutch submarine when it could not be gotten off the reef. This was the only international submarine-to-submarine rescue in history. After returning the Dutch sailors to [[U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay]], between 21 July and 1 August ''Cod'' made 20 gunfire attacks on the junks, motor sampans, and barges which were all that remained to supply the Japanese at [[Singapore]]. After inspecting each contact to rescue civilian crew, ''Cod'' sank it by gunfire and torpedoes, sending to the bottom a total of 23. On 1 August, an enemy plane [[Strafing|strafed]] ''Cod'', forcing her to dive, leaving one of her boarding parties behind. The men were rescued two days later by {{USS|Blenny|SS-324}}.

When ''Cod'' returned to Fremantle 13 August 1945, the crew of ''O-19'' was waiting to throw a party for their rescuers. During that celebration, the two crews learned of the Japanese surrender. To symbolize that moment, another symbol was added to ''Cod''{{'s}} battle flag: the name ''O-19'' under a [[martini glass]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Farace |first1=Paul |title=A brief history of the U.S.S. COD |url=https://www.usscod.org/info.html |website=www.usscod.org |access-date=17 March 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Dutch Submarines: The submarine O 19 |url=https://www.dutchsubmarines.com/boats/boat_o19.htm |website=www.dutchsubmarines.com |access-date=17 March 2025}}</ref>

''Cod'' sailed for home on 31 August. Arriving at [[Naval Submarine Base New London]], on 3 November after a visit to [[Miami, Florida]], ''Cod'' sailed to the [[Philadelphia Navy Yard]] for a overhaul, returning to [[New London, Connecticut]] where she was decommissioned and placed in reserve 22 June 1946.

===Post-War service, June 1946 – June 1954===
''Cod'' was [[United States Navy reserve fleets|mothballed]] in 1946, ''Cod'' was recommissioned in 1951 to participate in [[NATO]] anti-submarine training exercises. During the [[Cold War]], ''Cod'' traveled to [[St. John's, Newfoundland]], as well as [[Cuba]] and [[South America]].

==Great Lakes training vessel, June 1954 – December 1971==
''Cod'' was decommissioned in 1954 and placed in reserve. In 1959 she was towed through the [[St. Lawrence Seaway]] to [[Cleveland, Ohio]] and was used as a training vessel. The ''Cod'' served as a training platform during the reservists' weekend drills. The ''Cod'' was reclassified first as an Auxiliary Submarine (AGSS-224) on 1 December 1962, and later as a Unclassified Miscellaneous Submarine (IXSS-224) on 30 June 1971. The ''Cod'' was in commission, but classed as "in commission in reserve". On 15 December 1971, the ''Cod'' was stricken from the [[Naval Vessel Register]].

==Awards and decorations==
[[File:USS Cod, Conning Tower - 53056307522.jpg|thumb|left|''Cod''{{'s}} conning tower with her battle stars, battleflag, and cocktail glass]]
''Cod'' is credited with sinking more than 12 enemy vessels totaling more than 37,000 tons, and damaging another 36,000 tons of enemy shipping. All seven of her war patrols were considered successful and ''Cod'' was awarded seven [[Service star#Navy warships|battle stars]] for her service in [[World War II]], ''Cod''{{'s}} battleflag and conning tower both carry a cocktail glass above the name [[HNLMS O 19|''O-19'']] to commemorate the rescue and the party.

A group of Cleveland residents formed the Cleveland Coordinating Committee to Save ''Cod'', Inc., with the goal of preserving the ship as a memorial. On 25 January 1976, the [[United States Navy]] gave guardianship of the submarine to the group. ''Cod'' opened for public tours as a floating memorial on 1 May 1976. In 1986, the [[U.S. Department of the Interior]] designated ''Cod'' a [[National Historic Landmark]]. The memorial is open daily between May and November of each year.

Today, ''Cod'' is the only [[World War II]] United States Navy museum submarine that has not had stairways and doors cut into her pressure hull for public access<ref>{{Cite magazine |author=Robert T.

The ship's 5-inch deck gun, [[Torpedo Data Computer|Mark IV Torpedo Data Computer]], [[SJ radar|SJ-5 radar]], [[Sound-powered telephone]], and all five diesel engines have been restored and are fully operable.

Cleveland can claim partial credit as ''Cod''{{'s}} birthplace, since the submarine's four main diesel engines, and one auxiliary diesel engine were built at the [[Electro-Motive Diesel|General Motors]] [[Cleveland Diesel Engine Division]] on Cleveland's west side. ''Cod'' acquired two [[Electro-Motive Diesel|General Motors]] Cleveland Model 16-248 V16 diesel engines that had originally been used aboard another [[World War II]] submarine, {{USS|Stingray|SS-186}}. The engines are held in reserve for parts for the restoration of ''Cod''{{'s}} engines.

The ''Cod'' operates an [[amateur radio]] station, W8COD,<ref>{{cite web |title=Vanity License - W8COD - USS COD AMATEUR RADIO CLUB |url=https://www.wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=821244 |website=FCC ULS |publisher=US Federal Communications Commission |access-date=27 April 2020 |archive-date=19 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210619032441/https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=821244 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and participates in various [[Contesting|amateur radio contests]] and other events such as [[Field Day (amateur radio)|Field Day]].

On 13 June 2021, ''Cod'' departed Cleveland under tow to Donjon Shipbuilding & Repair in [[Erie, Pennsylvania]] for dry docking to repair and renew her underwater hull. The last time the ''Cod'' was in dry dock for repairs was in 1963 in [[Lorain, Ohio]]. ''Cod'' was closed to tours for approximately 64 days for a dry dock maintenance program.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Williams |first1=Avery |title=USS Cod to set sail for first time in 58 years |url=https://www.cleveland19.com/2021/06/10/uss-cod-set-sail-first-time-58-years |access-date=28 July 2023 |work=19 News |date=10 June 2021}}</ref> The goal of the $1.1 million project, partially funded by a $395,050 grant from the Save America's Treasures grant program administered by the [[U.S. Department of the Interior]], is to conserve and restore the underwater hull of the submarine.
