hi
is there a ghost ship in sh3? if so where
Yes, Privateer made a glowing, semi-transparent model of the USS Cyclops, which makes creepy sounds and which is included in GWX 2.0. Just wait until you see it. :o:D If you haven't found her yet, check the waters around Bermuda...:cool:

Not only is it true... but there is a very creepy background story that goes with it all... naturally based on real life matters.

GR, don't you know anything about the paranormal? You can't make a claim like that and have no proof to back it up!
Where's the photographs!?:shifty:

In fact anywhere within the triangle

Ghosts are mostly legend... no "proof" exists only the oratory of a supposed witness.
this is why kids go out into the woods at night where the old witch used to live.
this is why you hear strange noises at night in the attic of an old colonial house.
therefore i only offer this written report filed to BdU from KaptLt. Erich Steinhaus:
"We were en route to the United States Eastern Coastal waters to take part in Operation [EDITED CLASSIFIED]. We had a strange encounter with a ship which could not be identified through the use of our on board books. At approximately 2 hours after sunset, the ship first became visible to the watch crew. it was assumed at first to be a civilian ocean liner as the ship was well lighted. As we slowly approached the vessel and made further attempts to classify it through our books we were unsuccessful. The ship was between 500 and 600 feet in length and appeared to be an old collier or factory ship of some type with several large vertical beams along its midships. It became apparant that the ship was somewhat translucent and had a strange pale glow around it not unlike Saint Elmos Fire, however the light engulfed the entire ship. No flag could or national insigna was obvious. We closed to within 900 meters of the vessel, no sailors were observed on her decks. As photographs were taken from three sailors with cameras, the three crewmen began to fall ill without any explaination. It became obvious upon closer examination that the ship was completely translucent as if constructed of frosted glass. Not one sailor could be seen walking her decks, she made no aggressive maneuvering or evasive action. at the insistance of the chief engineer who grew quite agitated at our discovery, along with the fear of possible collision with the object we submerged and left the area. a strange humming, moaning was observed on the hydrophone in the direction of the "ship", the sound contact suddenly stopped. I raised the scope and scanned the entire area, there was no sign of the ship anywhere. one minute it was about 1000 meters off the port bow, the next minute it had vanished. The three crewmen had completely recovered from their illness within a matter of minutes. Film recovered from all three cameras was developed and revealed no intelligable images. The film from all three cameras appeared to be defective."
From BDU to Abwher
See attached report from Kpt. Steinhaus.
Urgent you investigate possible nautical new conveyance/transport developed by Allies to avoid U-boat threat. :huh:

Further rumors state that there is,
infact,
at lest one observable crew member on board.

By "there is" I presume you mean there's another ghost ship (I.e. the Black Pearl) and by "at lest one observable crew member on board" you mean Keira Knightley... right? http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/8499/pleadingemoue2.jpg
