Talk:USS Cod

message: The spec box edit says "DANFS says 3 inch, but the statistics imply 4 inch, upgraded to 5 inch.Arrgh." Obviously this is somebody who doesn't know U.S. subs were upgraded as the war went on, with 4"/50cal or 5"/25cal, depending on availability & refit. (BTW, the 4"/50s came from retired S-boats.) I changed it to the "as built" 3"/50 AA popgun. Any comment on including fuel amount?  Trekphiler 10:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I visited the Cod in 1981, while living in Cleveland.  It was only one visit, but I don't recall this ship as "floating", on the waters of Lake Erie, or the Cuyahoga River, (both of which are within site of the ship--at that time), or any "body" of water.  It was sitting on dry land and propped up with strut-like buttresses. One walked across grass and climbed a ladder to the deck. Unless the ship has since been returned to watery realms, I think the description of the ship as "floating" needs to be revised.  Perhaps, in the last 26 years they have put the ship in the water, but I believe that its being on dry land was a preservative matter.  One did enter, leave, and move around the ship via ladders and hatchways, as described.  Could some one verify this and make revisions if appropriate?  I have made no edits to the text, itself, particularly since I don't know if the term "dry docked" would fit my description, above.  Also, note the date of my visit.  Someone who has visited the Cod since that date should verify.Petroniares (talk) 10:22, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a good respository of free pictures of the ship here.  Mostly inside views, but there's a good body shot. §hep  •  ¡Talk to me! 21:35, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Did Mahoney sponsor the 'launching' or the ship itself? And did she launch the ship, too? And who was she anyhow? Glatisant (talk) 12:03, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

message: This is a brief statement to clarify one of the points made in the article on the U.S.S. Cod. The author states in the Museum Ship section, "..and is the only U.S. museum submarine that has not had stairways and doors cut into her pressure hull for public access."
There is at least one other GATO class on display, the U.S.S. Drum in Mobile, AL, that has her pressure hull fully intact as well. 
She is currently diplayed on land and access to the ship is via a wooden stair case that leads to the main deck. Entrance and exit from the interior of the ship is made through the original hatches the crews used in World War II.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.233.193 (talk) 16:30, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Correction... The great Drum, first of the Gatos into service, certainly has had the typical staircase cut into her torpedo loading hatches. Razorback, on display in Littlerock, Ark., like Cod, uses her original hatches and ladders, but she has been modified for Cold War service, so is not strictly a WWII configuration. -- Paul Farace, Cod director. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.61.6.229 (talk) 04:51, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Patrols 1, 2, and 3 were under the command of Commander James C. Dempsey, USN; patrols 4, 5, and 6 were under the command of Commander James "Caddy" Adkins, USN; and patrol 7 was under the command of Lieutenant commander Edwin M. Westbrook, Jr., USN. When recommissioned in 1951, Cod was under the command of Captain Francis E. Rich, USN, and was placed out of commission by Captain Joseph L. Adelman, USN.
Wiki seems to put in a new rule about this for it to only be about the ship. Being a crew member aboard the Cod I feel we should still honor her Commanding Officers on this page because they were just as much apart of that ship. Brotherbenz (talk) 20:34, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
