      Question: WIll there be a USS Indianapolis 75th Anniversary Camo or ship discount in the Shop for this ship ? In Honor of its sinking on July 30th 1945 ? Other ships have received this Honor in the game . Please repost if you support this idea .

    My Grandfather Donald Besse served aboard the U.S.S. COD patrols 2-6.
    He was a GM3c
    When they sunk the Destroyer Karukaya, it was crazy.
    As the story goes, my grandpa knocked out a crewmate who was freaking out and screaming while they were getting depth charged.
    I guess if they were going to get blown up, he wanted a little peace and quiet first.
    They made it out of there, but I guess it was like pennies rattling around in a coke can, whole sub was shaking.
    Awesome video

      My dad took us to see the USS COD several times before he passed away 2days after my 8th birthday. I met actual veteran sailors who did patrols on her in the pacific. Veterans are to me, treasured living history books that complement a piece of WWII pacific theater history!! It's one of Cleveland's many wonderful museums!! Incredibly small as submarines go. The USS COD museum experiences are among some great childhood memories.

    I visited Cleveland and went aboard the Cod about 10 years ago. I wore my Navy submarine ball cap and was amazed at the welcome I received... they rolled out the red carpet for a fellow dolphin wearing submariner. Ironic that her hull number is 224 because my old sub had hull number 624. The Cod does not have a “hole” punched in her like other tourist subs and you really have to be careful when you board her. I thank all that welcomed me on that day and I especially thank everyone that keeps her preserved.

    OUTSTANDING Presentation of Cod!! I've held a lifelong love of submarine warfare in general and WWII, Pacific theater submarine warfare in particular. My Dad was a Marine Corps pilot in WWII and Korea, and that influenced my decision to go Army aviation for Vietnam, otherwise I'm sure I would have been a Bubblehead. I wrote about submarine warfare in several of my (historically accurate fiction) books in the series, "The Indomitable Patriot," "They Stood Above The Rest," and "The Patriot Chronicles: Operation Crimson Tide."
    I subscribed to the channel and look forward to watching the rest of the shows. I also wish to compliment the producers for their accuracy in this show. It was a hard life aboard the "Pig Boats" and you documented it exceptionally well.........

    The Magnetic detonator worked properly, it just wasnt calibrated for equatorial latitude. New London CT where the Beuro of Ordinance for the submarine service is just above the 40th parallel, which has a tighter magnetic field as we get closer to the poles of the globe.
    The other ignition problem encountered was the firing pin that was to travel accoss the axis of the torpedo. A right angle strike wouldn't detonate because of the inertial G force wouldn't allow the pin to travel upon impact. However a glancing angle strike there would be detonation. Ironically the fix was using the lightweight alloy from the propellers Japanese aircraft shot down at Pearl Harbor to fashion a lightweight version firing pin.

    Well since you already explain the artillery armament of submarines in the videos about submarines, I hope you do plan to introduce artillery armament for the submarines ingame too.
    You should have these as a last ditch attempt at defending yourself as sub captain, having only one artillery gun of basically Destroyer caliber wouldn't be a real threat either, only when a target is about to die anyway.

    Being in a Submarine is like being in your living room without any windows. But it's much more quieter.

      Even longer before that. That's when it was all put together. But it would have taken many years of planning and building to get it to that point. I know they say what's currently being machined, won't be fully put together and in service for about 20 years.

    The COD was supposed to go into dry dock last fall, for an underwater survey/cleaning/repaint. Her last bottom inspection was back in the '60s. Yes, she is actually floating in Lake Erie... Anyway, she was supposed to be towed to Erie PA for the drydock, but the towing company backed out at the 11th hour. Now the COD is scheduled to be towed to Erie sometime this Spring (2021) for the underwater refurb..

      Check out the footage shot by a crew member during it. He posted several and gives an inside look at all the work done to her. Was a lot of work after sitting over 50 years. Awesome footage of her cutting a wake too.

    Dudley Walker Morton is the Leonidas of submarines. He took the submarine from a tool of observation to the weapon of war we know today. Many used the "down the throat" shot after he was the first to prove the right crew can do it. Plus Morton's tactics and knowledge was used by Richard O'kane to make O'kane the top sub skipper of ww2, and he happened to be Morton's former executive officer. I wonder what Morton could have done if he eventually got command of a Balao.

    My father was a crewman on this boat. He was an electricians mate. His battle station was the forward torpedo room. He lost quite a bit of his hearing from both the deck guns and the loud machinery noise inside. His stories of approach and attack and being depth charged afterwards match these accounts very well. He also served on the Mingo and the Bergall.

      When I was slim enough to fit thru the hatch many year's ago, I toured the COD. after all I was a native Clevelander who water skiied right up to the boat and also walked almost into a torpedo tube when lake Erie was frozen. This presentation was much, much better than my tour and I can appreciate how your dad endured the cramped environment. You have a great father!
