USS Cod
USS Cod Submarine Memorial
A decorated submarine from World War II and the only submarine museum in the US that remains in its original condition, where visitors climb in and out via the original ladders.
The USS Cod was a Gato-class submarine from World War II. It carried out seven combat patrols in the Pacific and performed the only international submarine-to-submarine rescue in history. Today it is moored on the shore of Lake Erie near the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The interior remains in its original state, with no staircases cut in for visitors. Guests must use the original vertical ladders to enter and exit the torpedo room, experiencing the real living space of its sailors. Open roughly May to September. Tickets cost about 15 USD. Not suitable for people with limited mobility.
