Cleveland’s naval history runs deeper than many people realize.
In this episode of Legends of the Land, we explore the story of Cleveland’s naval legacy—from Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and the Battle of Lake Erie to the USS Cod, the World War II submarine docked on Cleveland’s lakefront. We also look ahead to an exciting new chapter: the commissioning of the USS Cleveland in May.
Joined by USS Cod Submarine Memorial President Paul Farace, hosts Lexi Robinson and John Luteran uncover why Cleveland’s connection to naval service still matters today, what makes the USS Cod such a powerful and authentic experience, and how the city’s maritime story continues to shape its identity.
