USS Cod - Submarine Rescue Re-Enactment
The USS Cod will celebrate the 80th anniversary of history's only international submarine-to-submarine rescue on Saturday, July 12 at 2 pm.
On that day in 1945 USS Cod rescued the 55-man crew of the Dutch submarine O19 after it grounded on Ladd Reef, deep in enemy waters. After two days of failed attempts to pull the Allied sub free the crew was taken aboard Cod and the O19 destroyed. Cod's rescue earned her an honorary place in the Netherlands submarine force.
On July 12 Cod will stage a reenactment of the boat crew transfer and salute the friendship between the two nations with a deck gun demonstration and refreshments.
See their website for more details: USS COD HOMEPAGE
