Cold? How about 38 years cold! I've seen films and photos of fleetboats starting up (cold) that made about as much smoke. And yes, when it's had a few minutes to warm up, it thinned out considerably. Thanks for watching this video!
I've read in a book called cleveland's ghosts that the USS COD is haunted and that men commited suicide... It would be an excellent idea to make a ghost tour 0_o
Bullcrap! Nobody committed suicide aboard the boat and there are no ghosts. We love and respect our boat, and to market this proud boat in such a way is to do a disservice to the men of the Silent Service. You will find a COD tour interesting without the spooks!
The cod is a VERY nice submarine. In it's current condition, I have every reason to believe it could sail again. I'd think there's a lot more work to be done to make it able to safely dive, though. Great video! I wish I was there to see it. I'm just waiting for my local sub, the Balao class USS Pampanito to start up her engines in public. I'm not old enough to volunteer yet. ): Great video!
I love WWII fleet boats, hope that they won't fall in disuse and some of these subs will get restored. Great job!

Plenty of white smoke there, was the engine cold when this engine was running?

@xxamadeus84xx Stories like that are a dime a dozen about anything. And I agree with PaulFarace.

The water cooling jacket is being worked on and will be fixed shortly... then we can run the No. 4 until the diesel fuel bill arrives in the mail! :o)
