This is a five-bladed, 2,080-lb. bronze submarine propeller and it is similar to the two four-bladed propellers used on the COD.
The propeller is a backdrop for a memorial to the almost 4,000 young men who gave their lives aboard our nation's submarines.
Also on the grounds here you can find a Mk-14 torpedo and a type 8A search periscope, removed from a 1950s-vintage submarine, provides visitors a sub skipper's view of the Port of Cleveland.
The site is open for visitors every day of the week from May 1 through the end of September. Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., last tour goes down into the ship at 4:30pm. The Screw is visible from behind the fence, it's only 10 feet from it. Plenty of parking around.
