Stock SH4 1.4, I am encountering this Blue-Green shimmering Ghost Ship January 17, 1942, nearing sundown, it trails red blood in its wake. It is under attack by 3 Japanese ships and 1 plane and firing back. It is following me at my surface flank speed of 18 knots near 21'9"N, 122'21"E, just north of the islands north of Luzon in the Luzon Straits. It has chased and scared my crew pretty badly, and we were running crazy to get away for a long time. Later in the night, out of torpedoes on the way back to base to refit, we barely survived a Japanese attack, but they amazingly depth charged themselves in shallow waters! Go figure . . .

Note: First shot with deck gun was short. But I got two more shots off at a range of 2,000 yds with the deck gun. Both passed through the target. It is moving away in a northerly/easterly direction at 23.5 kts.
It is real.
