USs Torsk "The galloping Ghost of the Japanese Coast" tied up next to the Baltimore Aquarium. I once spent a night tied up close to her aboard a sailboat after a Saturday race from Annapolis to Baltimore. This presentation is excellent. I learned a lot about US submarines. I wasn't aware that the Torsk was involved in the Cuba Bolckade. The day before JFK ordered the blockade, he sent his aides out to buy up all the H Upman Cuban Cigars they could find.
The sister ship - USS Cutlass SS-478 is still in the service in Taiwan's navy as a training/combat ship with 150m diving capability after retrofit in 2018.
Had a friend in elementary school who was in Boy Scouts. Was invited to stay overnight on the Torsk with his troop. Got to sleep in the old school bunks and everything. Not very comfortable lol but a super memorable experience!
I'm a foreigner, not a US citizen, yet I have a strong and often also a sentimental interest in the USN. In the seaport city where I was being raised, there were very few days when US Navy Ships were not in port. Although now probably succumbed to the fate of all elderly, the sailors who we intermingled with as teenagers will remain forever young
USS Torsk was SS-423, my father was radioman on USS SEACAT SS-399 which was one of 12 Subs that escorted the BB-63 Missouri into Tokyo Bay for the Surrender of the Japanese
In 1980, I was attending a multi-day meeting at the Baltimore Inner Harbor, I n the Navy, I had initially qualified in subs (Sea Leopard, SS-483 ) at the Admiral's "request" as a pre-req for nuke power school. I decided to tour the Torsk over lunch. Little did I know; I ended up leading several tours of the boat for tourists. I don't know why the Torsk support staff didn't seem to have anyone available, but I totally enjoyed my 'duty', and my day..
Thank you for your service. Just being onboard the Torsk, as a civilian, made me have a greater awareness/appreciation for the efforts of the submariners.
With nothing but respect, it must be said that American Submarine captains were Christened with some pretty cool names - like movie stars of the same era.
Incredible!!... I took a tour of the USS Torsk back in 1986... While visiting my big brother in D.C. It was in Baltimore Harbor..where it was being moored. I went there with my nephew and he was amazed.... I spent about four hours in it and took a lot of pitures with my Kodak camera ( no smartphones back then ) I never got over how big it was!!!!
I was literally on Torsk about a month ago! It’s in Baltimore by the National Aquarium. You can get on it and U.S.S. Constellation with one pretty cheap payment I don’t remember
I saw USS Torsk only once when I went to Baltimore while on a trip to Washington D.C. in 2015. But back then, I didn’t know Torsk had such a track record. The things you learn with time.

"A very eloquent fact that characterizes the Tench-class submarines is that one of these submarines is still in service." ex-USS Cutlass (SS-478) now is in Taiwanese Navy ROCS Hai Shih (SS-791). It has extended its service life until 2026 (or new generation of submarine on service).
The USS Torsk is at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, along with the USS Constellation sailing ship (1854) and sister ship to the USS Constitution in Boston, USCG Cutter 37, the LV116 Chesapeake (Lightship), and the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse. The National Aquarium is there as well, along with many restaurants, shops, water taxis, etc. I have been there many times. The ships can be toured, very interesting/informative. The Little Italy in Baltimore is a few blocks away, but has seen better times. Beware of straying. Baltimore is a very historic city, with many sites to see, such as the Shot Tower, Fort McHenry (attacked in 1812, with Francis Scott Key, onboard a British ship, and wrote the US National Anthem), the Walters Art Museum, the American Visionary Art Museum, Westminster Church where Edgar Allan Poe was buried, and the FIRST Washington Monument in the US. The city has many sites to see.
*hate to say but you've got the wrong constellation, none of constitution's sisters survived (although it was apparently really iffy if that constellation was the original or not because Politics)
Had a chance to go aboard the Torsk a decade or so ago when teaching in Glen Burny, MD, not far from Baltimore. I was still surprised how cramped everything was. Prior to that, I'd only been aboard surface ships and the SSBN Nevada. The latter is still pretty tight, but compared to the Torsk, downright roomy.
I live in Baltimore, so I get to walk by the USS Torsk on my way to my favorite restaurant every Saturday. Thank you for showcasing this historic submarine.
Cool Norwegian fish name. Lots of American with it's family from Scandinavia have tasted lutefisk, bacalao and more Scandinavian dishes. Bacalao is actually a Norwegian Italian, the history of Bacalao is a really cool story.
fun fact: in the movie 'Down Periscope', the diesel submarine used is a Balao-class sub. in the movie the part it plays is as the USS Stingray, irl it was the USS Pampanito.
She's 30 minutes up the road from and if your in the Baltimore area it's well worth the visit and just ahead of her is the Coast Guard cutter Taney and she was at Pearl Harbour on Dec 7th 1941.
When covering anything from the US inventory please include feet and inches as well as metric when discussing dimensions, maximum depth, or any applicable specification. It's just being respectful to any country of origin to use that country's units of measure.
I can understand the metric system, but yet can never relate this to a physical example as I can with Imperial. It's a generational thing because in my country Imperial based on 12 was all we knew. Then along came the metric system with metres, centimetres and millimetres. That comes down to the Darwinian, adapt and survive.

It’s crazy when you sit and think at how fast these types of weapons of war were made and sent to battle? For a sub like this I can’t find build time I’m sure it was 6months maybe? As ships where spat out monthly at insane numbers.
@@lonniesmith5928I know that, but they already have a sub named "Cod". So it's a bit weird that they translated that into Norwegian and slapped that onto the sub lol
@@ClydeThaMonkey We built a lot of submarines. So many that according to a video I watched about USN naming schemes, we ran out of actual fish, and started using words that sounded like fish. This became a small problem when captains were asking for picture of fish that didn't exist.

As a videographer I'm always very impressed by the team/s that make these features. Good job guys!
I toured the Torsk twice when I was a kid. It made a big impression on me. Very cool technology for way back then.
I got to sleep over on her one time
Had a friend in elementary school who was in Boy Scouts. Was invited to stay overnight on the Torsk with his troop. Got to sleep in the old school bunks and everything. Not very comfortable lol but a super memorable experience!
Why do Americans always seem call them boy scouts?
We just call them scouts.
My cousin is in Gilwell (the scouts Association HQ)
@@harryjohnson9215 Calling them scouts would be easier honestly. It’s probably because the US has separate organizations for boys and girls.
Very Good!!!
I did that also!
I was in the scouts
My night has been improved by a new Naval Legends episode
And our day magnified by your comment, Chancellor.

Finally not a paper ship.
#2 attempt to petition for Warspite Naval Legends
I was able to take a nap on this submarine lol I bought a ticket and it was so slow. I was the only customer all day
In case anyone wonders; a Torsk is a type of Cod. Not the prettiest fish, has a single barbel hanging from it's chin, like a overly-long goatee.
I live in New London CT! Crazy to hear your town randomly in videos.
Bro I have fricken been on that ship. I did an overnight tour for Cub Scouts and visited it last year as well. It is really cool
I spent a night on uss torsk years ago. Great to see things like it preserved
Great historical video WoWarships!
I love it. “Merry/Land!”
This is the voice that I would want my teacher sound like
Cool Norwegian fish name.
Lots of American with it's family from Scandinavia have tasted lutefisk, bacalao and more Scandinavian dishes. Bacalao is actually a Norwegian Italian, the history of Bacalao is a really cool story.
A 3:11 is shows the actual speed these subs should go. maybe try that in game
wish they still had this kind of content on the history channel.
As a Norwegian i think its kinda funny they named it Torsk , because Torsk = Cod in Norwegian .
In Danish as well…😂
Uss Cod in Cleveland Ohio usa
In New London and Groton, we have a saying: “there are two types of vessels out on the water; submarines, and targets.”
Really !!! I doubt most of the population there would say that.
maximum speed:
surface: 20 knots, submerge: 8.7 knots
in wows (mostlikely)
surface: 27knots, submerge: 27 knots
The MK14 torpedoes was probably more dangerous to the sub carrying them
Imagine the shock and embarrassment of being defeated by an old rickety WWII submarine in while in your shiny new and advance warship.
Beautiful ship... Old days make great ship for hard battles
I just stayed near the Inner Harbor a few weeks ago for work and walked along side her. No tour available that day, but pretty cool!
hello!why we cannot buy submarines at the shop yet?
Ya... but how do you GET a submarine, i keep seeing them, but i have yet to find a way to GET one. Im being killed by a weapon i cannot get myself.
A new Naval Legends lets gooooo!
I Like your chanel... Cuz I've learn many things here...
fun fact: in the movie 'Down Periscope', the diesel submarine used is a Balao-class sub. in the movie the part it plays is as the USS Stingray, irl it was the USS Pampanito.
How tall is the sail of a WW2 fleet submarine? (Main deck to top of periscope shears. With scopes retracted.)
Been on the Torsk several times.....always a great sight to see in Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
My dad's submarine commander has a somewhat similar wargame story.
Torsk also means cod in danish
Great video as usual.
Great video, dislike is for the current state of subs in game and the negative impact they have on the playability of other classes.
Do one on the forgotten USS Tang
The ship that destroyed the most ships throughout the war am i right?
@@admiralhans8273 And eventually the ship that commited suicide
Ya but... where are the subs? I don't see them in the tech tree, armory, my ships list, nothing.... been trying to find them for like a month now....
combat missions, check there
Combat missions to earn base xp. Each time you complete a stage, you are given a pair of rental subs for T6, 8, and 10.
That’s so cool I’ve been there and live 30 minutes away
She's 30 minutes up the road from and if your in the Baltimore area it's well worth the visit and just ahead of her is the Coast Guard cutter Taney and she was at Pearl Harbour on Dec 7th 1941.
It's been awhile since the last naval legends. I missed it.
interisting how good the technology was at that time
좋은 역사를 배웁니다. 전함의 역사에 담긴 교훈 또한 좋았습니다.
Why'd they have to get rid of the shark paint
Torsk really got the achievent; "Final Blow"
Awesome video. Thank You.
Smile, you're on candid camera !
wasn't the first naval action on september 1st? German ship Schleswig-Holstein fired shells at the port of Danzig that day.
@ 06:09 She was commissioned in Dec 1944
When covering anything from the US inventory please include feet and inches as well as metric when discussing dimensions, maximum depth, or any applicable specification. It's just being respectful to any country of origin to use that country's units of measure.
Yes and its inconvenient to have to try to do the conversion whilst enjoying the video

Old school always have old bones
Are we getting USS torsk in world of warships 😁
When history channel lefted all those topics,Wow Oc makes a full documentary of submarine/ship 😁
I hope that they have the USS Torsk Sharkface as a option for this. Boat. If you enjoyed this video, one of the guides operates JaySea Archaeology.

So, why did they never fire the purple smoke?
So the captain could get their "got'cha" moment
I would like an intuitive, nice and easier interface like World of Tanks, it would be great if they would implement it.
Keep up the good work! Happy holidays!

In port it’s either all rusted out or it has the “in the navy” music video playing on the deck.
