Patrolling the Convoy College east of the Batan Islands I encountered what I can only describe as a ghost ship. It appeared as a sonar sound contact, warship, moving fast, closing, and I altered course to engage. When I spotted it it appeared to be a large 18th Century square rigger sailing ship doing about 15 knots. It was a ghostly translucent green and was trailing long, translucent green wisps of ectoplasm. I asked to Weapons Officer to identify it and his answer was "What is that?!?".

Anyone else ever see this?

This is an easter egg that is in Stock SH4. It is the Flying Dutchman. I've encountered it as well. It only spawns 1 time in 5 months and the chances of it spawning are 20%. Consider yourself very lucky that you saw such a sight.
