Did you scream like a little girl?:rotfl:

[badaboom]

Now do you believe?:o

[CaptHawkeye]

I hear she never leaves any survivors!

[UnderseaLcpl]

I hear she never leaves any survivors!

Then who tells the tales, I wonder?

[Raptor1]

I hear she never leaves any survivors!
Then who tells the tales, I wonder?

The dead

[Sailor Steve]

No.

Dead men tell no tales.

I know this for a fact.

I read it on the internet.

[CaptHawkeye]

Remember, the term is "parley". :)

[kiwi_2005]

Is there a Ghost ship in SH4? Or is this just a joke.

[banjo]

Not a joke. I think it is an easter egg in PE 3.2, but in any case it is there. Not in the stock game I'm sure.

Actually, It is in the stock game

[DavyJonesFootlocker]

Wait a sec, are you guys referring to the Flying Dutchman?

[Raptor1]

Wait a sec, are you guys referring to the Flying Dutchman?
I assume they are since the Flying Dutchman is the only Ghost Ship I know of and he did say he spotted her south of Formosa

Don't know, just wanted to see what would happen.

[Raptor1]

Sinking a ship that is doomed to sail the oceans forever kinda defeats the point

[Bosje]

:rotfl:

[Brag]

Is this the same ghost ship as in GWX?

[Madox58]

No.

It didn't sink.....I hit atleast 7 torps and it wouldn't sink!

[Raptor1]

You cannot sink that which has already sunk!

I'm on my 4th patrol of my 4th career. Hadn't seen the Ghost Ship before last night. It was traversing the Luzon Strait on a SE course at 29 knots. 29 knots? I doubt the original ever got anywhere close to 29 knots. But I caught it 5 different times on my radar (within about 36 hrs), traveling a different course each time. Each time I selected it on the map view it would show up as a "Warship" traveling at high speed. Actual Jap warships show up as "Unknown" when selected (when out of visual range). When I finally got it into visual range and locked my TBT on it, the TBT ID'd it as "What is this?". I never tried to fire on it as it showed up as a blue target. Hey, I didn't want to sink some super secret Allied operation designed to scare the Japs out of the area. A guy could get Court Marshalled for something like that.
Kind of cute, the first time. By the 5th time it had become an annoyance. But it definitely put a little excitement into a rather dull period on the patrol. I think it actually worked on the Japs because I didn't see one single merchant ship while it was there, only a couple of destroyers. WEIRD.

Did you try the twin 20 mike mikes or the deck gun? Surely its no sanpan or a junk but should be no more durable then a gunboat. CL

Pretty funny. Looks real good too.:rotfl:

And mine!
I'm on the suface at night in the Celebes(U-boat), see a ship marker on map. Timing it, and its moving at '4' knts Aah, a fishing boat or sampan!!
Not on your life, it's a Japanese Tanker. Drifting! absolutely no 'way' on it at all. I have actually nudged it, no response, binoculars show no sign of any crew anywhere!
Even went right round it, no crew, no signs of any damage either. Very tempted to sink it (denying the enemy the oil)
How do insert a picture? I have 3 screen shots of this?

steinbeck......:hmm:
.................................................. .................................................. .........
it absolutely looks as though it's a dead ship!! Your's may not be the same ship!!
