Submarine in Cleveland, Ohio? Who'd ever think it?



I first saw this one dark December night with snow softly falling.I couldn't believe it because I was passing through Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland, Ohio? The middle of the American Midwest? Sure enough, it was there then as it is now.
Then I was hitch-hiking from Ft. Devens, Mass., to Hobbs, New Mexico. And, then in the middle of that night on a ride someone gave me and a soldier buddy we could see this World War II era submarine. I couldn't see it then, but I can see now, as you can, the Japanese emblems on the coning tower to denote missions or ships sunk. It is the submarine USS Cod.
