Now that Cod is on the blocks and the sobering work of repairing her underwater hull begins I want to close out the towing portion of this patrol report with a round up of photos of the tow and the crew. Not just the riders... let's face it, the hardest job I had was to decide who would work (ride) the tow and who couldn't. Imagine having a family of 10 kids and you can only send three to Disneyland. But everyone has a role in the overall project. In fact the absolute killer photo was taken by a Cod crewman riding chase boat alongside the sub. Like an operational submarine, it takes a great crew to complete the mission. And I believe Cod is blessed to have the best crew in the historic submarine community! This is not presented to show off for those aboard, but rather to share a bit of the experience with those whose job kept them ashore. God bless you all!

This is a team effort... look no further than the combined work put out by Cod crew to get the boat's brow detached to allow us to get underway later today. The custom built accommodation ramp was built in place and apparently its builder never anticipated the need to remove it. For a while it looked like our departure was in jeopardy... but through the combined efforts of Aaron, Louis, Lou, Joe, Brian and others ... and lots of prayers... the brow was worked free!

Safety inspections are go! The USCG stopped by this afternoon to see if our riding crew could don survival suits in the event of a water accident (basically if Cod sinks). In that extremely unlikely scenario we are also protected by the tug, and the survival raft we installed (all gear provided by our friends at Samsel Supply Inc. of Cleveland). We're still looking at the tug arriving in Cleveland at 11 am Sunday with departure soon after. I don't reccomend the suits for anything other than sinking ships and scaring children.

We were just informed that our tug will arrive in Cleveland at ll am Sunday... not 8 am!

A WARNING TO OUR FRIENDS!!! Towing operations are often very weather dependent. I have just received word from our tow captain that deteriorating weather on Sunday and moving forward in the week will necessitate the tug getting to Cleveland at about 8 AM Sunday with a departure soon after. Fanfare for a sendoff is much appreciated but difficult to schedule in this situation. We will keep our page updated as new information develops. Thanks for your understanding.

Cod will be open daily 10 to 5 until the tugs arrive to tow her to Erie for hull work. A six to eight week absence is not optimal for the bottom line of a gate-funded memorial ship but the long term preservation goal is paramount. So we're looking to generate as much income before and after the drydocking.

We took delivery of ten replacement torpedo tube muzzle door gaskets from a Cleveland company to replace those installed by the Navy while Cod was in service. These expensive rubber rings are critical to ensuring the watertight integrity of the six tubes that are below water level. Our crew installed one on the outer door of tube 2 to develop experience in installation methods and to test their fit. The others will be installed when Cod is in drydock this summer.
