USS Cod returns home to Cleveland
Cleveland, OH – After $1 million in repairs over 63 days, WWII submarine USS Cod has returned to its home in Cleveland. It docked in Cleveland just before 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The USS Cod received repairs to the underwater hull, including refurbishment of 10 torpedo tubes, ballast tank plating, and a new hull coating system donated by Sherwin-Williams.
“We’re extremely grateful to the staff at Donjon Shipbuilding & Repair Co. for their efforts to ensure our submarine will remain a proud memorial to the men and women of America’s armed forces,” said Cod President Paul Farace. “We also cannot thank Sherwin-Williams Co. enough for the donation of their world-class marine hull coating products to ensure Cod is shipshape for future generations,” he added.
The Cod was towed out of its Cleveland dock on June 13.
The tug Manitou brought her home assisted by another tug in moving the 1,400-ton submarine back into her dock at 1201 N. Marginal Rd. on North Coast Harbor.
The Cod will open for tours as early as Thursday. A homecoming ceremony will take place at Cod’s dock Sunday at 1 p.m.
