I think subs in the game are a bad idea, but then... I think a lot of what WG has done were bad ideas, and now I am uninstalled and watching... how about new maps, radar that doesn't see through islands. listening to the user base, ..oh never mind...
Super informative and love the high-quality content. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next episode of Naval Legends
Please do USS Olympia
Plz return subs in the game. I would love to be in a Gato sub or even a U-boat sinking ships on the enemy team.
Q: are you going to implement submarines in the game soon?
I have been on the Cod. Beautifully restored --a marvel of engineering at the time, but the dangers were real and her service is a testament to her officers and crew. We can all be proud of the people who designed and built her and those brave men who made the win in the Pacific a true American victory. Thank you people of Cleveland for all you have done to preserve our history. PS the narration was superbly done--thank you.!
For years, the USS Cod sat at the downtown Cleveland berth. It wasn't until about 2014 or 15, that a friend and I made the visit to her, after hearing stories from a fellow employee of mine, who was a submariner during WW2, I needed to see one up close. It surely showed me the torture these guys had to suffer, just to be part of the crew. The tour of the Cod, opened my eyes to the fact, that all those young men were real honest to God heroes. It takes a special person to volunteer sub duty, and many did, ending up in one of the Oceans as their last resting place. God bless them all! Make a visit, it won't disappoint you.
My father (who was a crew member on the Cod) said that later in the war the Navy had sunk so many merchantmen that Japan started using Sampans (very shallow draft) to try and avoid submarine torpedo attack. He said they did have to come into much shallower waters than they liked but they destroyed dozens of Sampans with the deck gun. The down side was that they often took a beating from Japanese destroyers with the help of aircraft dropping flares on them since they could see them in the shallow water.
Many veterans will interchange Junk and Sampan... but a Sampan is a small open boat used in rivers and in harbors. The much larger Junk is what Cod and her sisters were blasting in 1945. These things could be more than 100 feet long and carry 100 tons of cargo! Google USS Cod on KZhead and you might see you father in Cod's color movie highlights of patrol 7!
PaulFarace thanks, yes Sampan is what he called them. Junk makes sense
I'm a Filipino. Thank you for your service and sacrifice for our freedom. Peace ✌️
The 1944 computer is still better than any that came installed with vista.
Warren Lehmkuhle this is very true

Electro-mechanical computer has its reliability on how it was designed. USS Pampanito in San Francisco has a fully restored and functioning TDC by the hands of U.S. Nautical Museum staff. The museum does help maintaining TDC in operational on USS Tusk and Cutlass in Taiwan's navy.
*pushes button* “And the-“ *explosion in distance* “Uhh.”
CuppaJoe1 we must sadly inform the sinking of the commercial boat master baiter by our sub that’s been decommissioned for about 50 years. It somehow still contained live ammo.....
I served on the USS Bonefish then went to nuclear submarines. This is one of the best submarine documentary a have seen . Thanks for all the work put in to it . Great job !
If anyone can I recommend visiting this boat. She's in a gorgeous location right on the lakefront. And as the video states still in her wartime configuration. It's one of the reasons I made the trek to Cleveland to see her when I traveled the US East Coast 6 years ago
It just went to the "shop" in Erie, PA to get patched up
The USS Drum is in Mobile Alabama right next to the battleship Alabama, also restored and worth visit...as is the battleship herself.
Gorgeous story about the Cod. And an extremely brave act to resque the crew of the Dutch O 19. Oh man the WWII navy has just so much lovely stories behind it that are so alive. May peace be upon this world from now on
There are even more amazing true stories of submarines in ww2.
@@carolprice1389 Not just subs only. There are plenty of gorgeous stories about the entire war
I heard dome good stories from my grandfather. He was on this sub during the war . Still have some of his stuff. A actually long original photo of the COD.
Great presentation! Her sister, USS Silversides (SS-236) is berthed in my home town of Muskegon, MI. She is not fully intact but she can steam and they take her onto the lake for cruises on occasion. Touring her is instructive. Great memories and great that we have preserved this history. And listening to the TDC start up is just awesome somehow. :-)
US submarines absolutely decimated the Japanese Merchant fleet and sunk the most tonnage in the pacific theatre.
This story keeps reminding me of the cruise of the USS Codfish, one of Bob Neuhart’s masterpieces. How lucky we are. Please return the first Officer.
I would like to thank the makers of this episode because it once again tells us that the us navy and the dutch navy are very much interconnected. And we dutch know how to throw a party....:) I liked it very much
am sorry that u lovely Dutch folks lost such a neat sub. Coral reefs are sneaky buggers when the water is blurry and filled with all that sand that hadnt settled down. But it was a small price to pay the crew is and always has been more important. Now then....... LET'S PARTY!!!!!
Try a Cajun party sometime...they know how to eat and drink. I grew up in Cajuncountry.
I'm a lifelong Clevelander; I remember going to see the Cod when I was a kid. The Cod was always a highlight of a trip downtown. The nostalgia is strong with this video.
Me too, I live on West 119th Street, and would like to say that visiting the Cod is way more fun than that expensive joke of the rock & roll hall of fame nextdoor to it.
Thank you Mr. Paul Farace for a brilliant tour & historic trip on the USS COD. Thanks to all of those responsible for preserving the USS COD and the extensive work restoring her to the true example of the way she was during the war. Also thank you to all who served on the USS COD as well as the entire submarine service. A special thank you to all of those that are now on Eternal Patrol.
7:10 -- At the beginning of the war, Japan had 4 million tons of shipping afloat. By the end of the war, U.S. submarines had sent 5 million tons of Japanese shipping to the bottom. So, think of it along the lines of... subs sank everything Japan had, along with an extra million that they built along the way.
It is said that the Americans effectively ejecuted what the Germans wanted to do on the Atlantic.
They lie about german merchant fleet sinking. They probably added the american pacific and more plus disregarding that the americans built so many new. UK was close to breaking twice because of merchant shipping losses.
Those are incredible numbers
NVIDIA Fan buckaroo you dont know what in the name of god you’re talking about so kindly bugger off mate
@@andreasmangs3131 -- Huh? Did anyone understand any of this?
When my daughter was attending school in Pittsburgh PA, we visited the USS Requin that is moored in the Ohio River at The Carnegie Science Center. The thing I remember best is the sleeping quarters. The bunks are stacked so close together that you would have to get out, turn around, and get back in if you wanted to roll over. On the other hand, the USS Nautilus moored in Groton CT at the Submarine Force Museum has more than enough room.
I’ve been on the Requin a few times
Great story for this war buff. Really kinda heartwarming. Beautiful restoration which, no doubt, was not an easy task. Thanks to those who helped to preserve this tremendous vessel. Most of all thanks to all of you wherever you are, for your service! 🇺🇲🌎
I just moved to Cleveland before COVID happened. I can't wait to go see the USS Cod once all this crazy is over!
She's open for visitors
As a child growing up in Cleveland. I remember going to the U.S.S. Cod. Was too young to understand why we had a sub in Cleveland. But, now I know.
I remember when I was in the Boy Scouts, my troop got to spend a night on the USS Pampanito in San Francisco. It’s not a Gato-class, but one of the newer Balaos. I can recall waking up early the next morning to play a round of Battleship with a buddy of mine. It was a really fun trip.

I toured this boat....very small inside, very much unlike any movie portrayal. If you are 6 feet tall....this would not be the most desirable posting. Amazing that everything has been maintained to such a degree that everything still works on the boat.
I very much like that WG is producing videos like these.
As a former submariner it was my job at battle stations to man and operate the TDC and WOG (weapons order generator). Once a MK 48 wire guided torpedo was launched it was my job to steer it and send other commands as ordered. It was truly amazing to watch all the dials move and "hunt" for a new solution when I made a manual input change. Those were the days when everything was strictly analog. And no I haven't forgotten that I have officially "forgotten" everything I knew about those things. Truly genius!
Parts 1 and 2 of the Cod story are a tutorial on how great videos are produced and stories told. Thank you!
And the USS Cod served honorably. Thanks to the Captains and crew. And blessings to the sole sailor lost. America won World War 2 because of men and technology such as this submarine.
With all those depth charges and enemy destroyers breathing down their neck, it's amazing the sub came back at all intact. *"It must be an act of Cod!*
man, as system engineer I find delightful to see and known about mechanical PCs from the 30's/40's Btw for those who don't, the Karukaya was a IJN destroyer of the Wakatake class. a very "old" class of DD (3 generations before the Fubuki class).
You might find these interesting. maritime.org/tech/tdc.htm tvre.org/en/home-page
Great video! You look very distinguished Paul. And the photography is first class. And also glad to see you got the TDC functioning again. From an old Cod volunteer. Bravo Zulu!
A day to celebrate freedom. Happy 4th!!! Great vid, thanks WG!
I want to like this but the number of likes is just the right amount :) so consider this a like to your comment.
Thank you for a great presentation, not that wars will be fought in this way again but to keep folk reminded of the sacrifices made and the need to avoid war.
This is a great series of videos on the USS COD. I grew up in Cleveland and visited the Cod twice, but was never told of the feats that it accomplish.
Great history, thank you Cod and to all the people who took the time to restore her and give her permanent home.
I'm surprised that the USS Pampanito didn't make it into that list of Submarines with stuff that acknowledges them. Pampanito saved 73 British and Australian POW's.
kinda disappointed how the ships that explode just stop dead in the water
Heh heh... that's how you can tell they're making this on a very, very sophisticated version of the in-game engine. All the ships in-game stop dead as soon as they blow up.
@@InchonDM no they do not. They have drift motion mechanics in the game, most ships do not stop right after death.
@@ecpcharles the battleships and carriers don't drift, they instantly stop
@@ecpcharles They do stop on a dime compared to how it happens in real life. IRL, capital ships will drift for a long way, even a mile or two, if going from full speed to all stop.
The quality of these Naval Legends documentaries is outstanding. Well done!
Went to the museum today and to say I was impressed woyld be an understatement. This sub is absolutely beautiful. Its interesting how nearly 100 people managed to get into all the tight spaces of the ship for rest. And not to mention the restrooms and stuff... but overall, it was super cool and I just had to pick up a memorial coin on my way out. Hope it stays afloat for all you workers fulfilling Gods plan
Thank you for this series! I've now binged episodes on battleships and subs. I'm new to military technology and theory -- thanks, quarantine, for giving me a new rabbit hole! -- and the technical specs are beyond me. I keep googling terms, so much that Google is now extending my queries, saying "based on recent searches" (not so happy about that).
I toured her yesterday. She's a beautiful sub and is in amazing condition. Not to mention you can go into just about every room unlike USS Silversides.
She looks a heck of a lot better than when I toured her in the early 70’s. Not sure about the time line from the video as I am fairly certain I toured her before 1976.
@@joehammond1247 Yep...the USS Cod has had a lot of work and care performed since the 70's. She's in great shape along the shore of Cleveland and Lake Erie.
Does me good to see my sub, our sub, on the "big screen". I am happy they included a sizable part on the TDC and fir control process. That's the whole reason Cod and her sisters existed, to take torpedoes really far away and give them to Japanese 👍 They did it well. Great job Paul and Paul! Well done.
This is fascinating. Thanks, quarantine, for sending me down a rabbit hole of interesting topics I'd always been tangentially interested in but now how time to delve into more.
I should say, I was not a physics or math person in school (though in 3rd grade math was my fave subject), and I am not a person that regularly uses these things as an adult. So, this computer in the sub is freaking me out - in a good way. I _am_ a details-oriented person (when I choose to be), and I am very particular in my work (words, not mathematical calculations - though, I suppose I make calculations based on words), but I'm so relieved I've not been called to service like this. As I said, it's fascinating, and I'm happy to learn more about it, but the numbers befuddle me.
Thank you again for doing this episode on the Cod. She is a wonderful museum ship and I encourage anyone in N.E. Ohio to go check her out.
the cg is 100% better than most documentary channels, also subs coming soon weegee? plez ?
@@Nick1979BN well cold waters is arcade type, like warship gunner 2 and battlestations pacific, meanwhile hunter killer is a legit sim
That TDC was indeed a marvel of analog computing! Just like the fire control systems on the Iowa class battleships. Some very smart folks at work back then!
These Submariners must have been some of the finest warriors of WWII. Thank you all.
When you are under a depth charge attack there is very little you can do. The skipper can try maneuvering the boat to try and escape but you HAVE to take the beating. The crews would hear a click, followed sometime later by the WHAM of the explosion. The length of time between the 2 told you how close it was. Such an attack may last 12 hours sir more. Nerves of steel
An impressive success story about the USS Cod in the second half of the submarine service in WWII. Quite a contrast to what happened before mid 1943, where torpedo problems made the submarine fleet ineffective.
The US Torpedo Computer is the best fire control out there in WWII, no other nations could even compete. But the US Torpedoes are by far one of the flawed or even worst torpedoes early war. Imo Gato, Tench and Balao class subs are the best out there but if you don't count their torpedoes they carry
Hell of a cod piece!
What a treasure. You folks did a wonderful job of restoration, especially keeping the TDC in working condition. It appears to be well cared for, not like the wreck they made of the Peking at N.Y. Seaport. Are there any of the other Gato boats left/ Wahoo was lost with Mush Morton as captain after a brilliant career.
Another great video, thank you for sharing this history of the USS Cod. It will be time for me to visit her again, when she returns home to Cleveland, after her latest overhaul at the Erie shipyard in 2021.
I've never taken a tour on any WWII Fleet Boat that had a working TDC before. This boat is absolutely impressive.
Well done documentary and excellent presenter.
Oh look, WG have made something we want. That's new...
who tf wants these pieces of shit
The people that care about history.
Please no subs carriers have been bad enough...
@@tomriley5790 What you don't want to see the I-400s in WOWS?
@@average_joe8905 Submarine aircraft carriers... what could go wrong with that....
The story of the USS Cod having to abandon a ship's boarding party on a Junk was featured in an episode of the 50's TV series " Silent Service ".
Anyone else hearing the TDC starting half expect the windows 95 start music?
You mean Windows '45? :P
No.That would be to much sound.
Absolutely excellent story of the USS Cod, the telling fo the story was great and the production so good. Brilliant.
Your docs are getting better & better, kudos WOWS team
You have done an excellent job in preserving this submarine , its as if the crew has just stepped off it !
1-956-317-7699=1+956+317+7699.
I do think the numbers involved on how big 1% of Allied shipping is, is quit important. The merchant escort, and anti sub operations by the Japanese compared to the Allies was mentioned though. Kriegsmarine U-boat operations were effective, Allied shipping was just bigger...
they're probably talking in destroyed figures, and germans being on the loosing side, ofc they had most of their fleat destroyed.
Triggered Wehrboo spotted 75% of Kruat U-boats are sitting on the ocean floor deal with it.....
@@tiggax2000 well someone will put down to "WG propaganda!" "only showing half the figures" xD
@@GrasshopperKelly y'know the Kriegsmarine is a part of the Wehrmacht right? That said when you look at raw tonnage sunk the American achievement is not nearly as impressive as the Kraut one.
1% of all allied-nations merchant shipping, sounds like American bias here
Maybe part of the 5-inch deck gun's appeal was it ability to fire proximity-fuzed projectiles.
Great video! The sailors on these boats have my respect. I could not do what they did.
much appreciate, it must be time consuming to compose one of these eps, so much research and interviews had to be done, and site visit
Wow what a great video. Just watched this on the eve of Canadian Remembrance Day. Thank you for helping to keep this history alive.
8:40 There is something very menacing and predatory about high detail but low light clips of a submersible sliding almost silently through the mirk...
Great documentary!
That boat looks like it could go to sea right now.
There is another WW2 sub in the Baltimore harbor in Md. called the USS Torsk. Its a museum setup like this. Please do a video on that.
Looking at the amount of tonage that was sunk it is fair to say that subs played a very important part of winning the early war in the S Pacific and keeping the Japanese from invading Austrilia.
Love that WG makes these mini documentaries. Would like to see some more Axis ships tho.
Are you referring to Axis shipwrecks?
@@WorldofWarshipsOfficialChannel Please, make a video about USS Johnston (DD-557)

Simply fantastic. Thanks for this guys.
Nice tribute to a fine sub. BZ!!!
Love the gato class subs
they are great boats .
The uss drum is a concrete fort
Jurassic Aviator ohhh
Yes. My favorites too. Beautiful design, and exceptionally effective.
Great video!!! After watching Part 1, just could not wait for Part 2. Am from northeast Ohio, roughly 45 miles east of Cleveland, and have visited this sub a few times. Living way out in Kansas, always great to see the skyline of Cleveland and the waters of Lake Erie - no matter how briefly!!!1
wow USS Cod is in really nice condition. Must pay her a visit one day.
Great historical video, this videos are a delight to watch. Keep on doing them!
What do I think we'll above average , EXCELLENT !!
I've seen it before but it was still just as good, I'd love to see it in person.
Few things make you proud to be an american anymore, this is one of them. Happy Independence Day, America. Excellent video, WG.
I'm sorry but everywhere I look I see things to make me proud to be as n American. True we have great division but lets remember to see the positive side too.
Wonderful documentary, very good job!!!
I can't even imagine the liability involved...however, it would be really COOL if the USS COD was fully operational and able to provide submarine excursions for paying customers!!!
Fantastic video as always. Thanks for the upload. 👌👍🤘
What is the music for the last 45 seconds? It is pure gold!
Great video WarGaming, very interesting and historical. Thank you for all your educational and historical videos and keeping history for ALL Nations alive and Current in all your fans and others names. No matter what certain people and countries say: History is Very Important for all Nations peoples and masses and so many of their sacrifices and stories from all their Armed Forces!
Very neat video, thank you. Got to do some work on the Bowfin in Pearl Harbor years ago - she was one of the Balao-class boats...
I am from cleveland i have seen the cod many times never been aboard now that will change when i go to visit my family i am going to visit the cod.
Wow, I had no idea how much more effective the US sub fleet was compared to the well-known deadly German Uboat fleet.
The TDC could be a fun add on to the subs if they get into the game. Like a CV's torpedo bombers, the sub needs to stay still at periscope or surface depth for optimum accuracy. It should help differentiate the class from DD ships too who can cart along at speed and dump torps reasonably well. Note that could is the operative word, it will need testing.
Job well done! 👏👏 congratulations. I like it and enjoyed the history 📜 narration 👍😊
Every sub is a completely different case & has its personal effects on the war efforts now about the U S S COD it was a very successful sub with a very good & aggressive leader & well trained crew on top of that was armed very well & carried radar & sonar it's captain took the high risks & led the various attacks with great success to the point that causing catastrophic disasters in the Japanese Navy well done COD with your successful hunting .
I dreamed that someday I would play u-boat in this game. I Wait ~
It would be cool to play other nations in that game, but then the name would needed to be changed.
It's not U-boat it's U-boot or german sub :P U-boat sound like some german wold say battleshiff ^^

That was really good thanks for sharing it! Would love to see this ship in game.
Im suprised that they manged to esape so many destroyers considering maximum diving depth of 80 meters .. just wow!!!
The numbers were stunning regarding the number of subs lost. Always had the German U-Boats presented as almost invincible.
Thank you for information I would not normally look at.
One of the best episode so far ;-;
That statistic for losses of subs to merchants was really interesting. I'm surprise the losses of allied shipping was so low due to all the talk of how effective the uboats were
People this has nothing to do with the weapon of war. What the most important thing is, the men who use it. That thing and only that is what is true. Anyone can throw a rock and kill someone, it's how those men and women are raised that makes any difference on any outcome. This story is new to me and I'm proud to know what, where and why these things came about.
Shes a beauty. Look like all she need is a crew and she could go to sea
Wow didn't know they were effective!
