General Characteristics and Role
The USS Cod (SS-224) is a Gato-class submarine of the United States Navy, built during World War II. The Gato-class represented the first mass-produced fleet submarines designed for long-range patrols in the Pacific. The Cod conducted seven war patrols against Japanese forces, sinking 12 enemy vessels and earning seven battle stars. She is one of the most famous surviving US submarines, recognized for a unique action in July 1945 when her crew rescued 48 Dutch and Indonesian sailors and airmen from the grounded Dutch submarine O-19 in the South China Sea. Unable to transfer the large number of rescued men to a ship, the Cod successfully communicated with the O-19’s crew and, when the Dutch sub could not be freed, sank it with torpedoes before sailing to safety. The Cod is now a museum ship in Cleveland, Ohio.
