Ghost Ship!
I was on my way to the patrol area west of gibraltar when during a routine hydrophone check my hydrophone operator reported
a merchant.I setup an intercept course and soon got visual contact.The weather was perfect,no wind,very good visibility. Submerged and waited for the ship.It was a large merchant.Measured the speed 7 knots.Lowered the periscope and started to input the data in TDC.She was 1.5 km away and there was nothing else left to do,just wait until she gets in to the right position. Nothing unusual so far. But then the hydrophone operator reported no contact:06:.I know they are a little lazy,so I checked myself,nothing:06:.Raised the periscope,nothing:06:,made a full circle with the periscope,nothing:06:.Surfaced,the result was again the same,nothing, no visual contact.:06:The ship disappeared.One moment she was there and a second later disappeared.A real ghost ship:arrgh!:.The only explanation is that it was a ghost of some large merchant sunked before.They come back to hunt us down:haha:. |
That's creepy!
Unsinkable merchants which dissapear and haunt you...and steal your tonnage! Strange though, I only once had something similar: at one point I was being depthcharged by this destroyer and left me after awhile. After following him on the sonar, his sound just disappeared somehow. After a periscope check, he was chugging away happily at his last known spot. Just without a sound! |

sometimes, upon reaching the last waypoint, the ship in question will vanish into thin air or will be "Deleted" to use the proper terminology HOWEVER There are rumors swirling over the sightings of the early 1900s ghost ship "Cyclops" being sited amidst a hazy blue glowing mist completing her voyage of years past through the bermuda triangle. Her keelhauled captains soul peers through the wheel house windows grasping for an escape from his insane hell. Call me crazy, but i have seen her with my own eyes.:salute: 100% fact. only you can find the truth... but the truth is out there, adrift for eternity on that harsh mistress we call the sea. go find her - if you and your crew dare to explore the unknown. |
Could she have changed course? Changed speed/stopped? I have had to run to the last known 'mark' to reacquire the vessel.
:salute: |
O.O the cyclops. how intersting. i have a feeling i'll hear a "ghostly blue ship sighted" in my dreams as i lay in bed today

Yeah.....ship was scripted to 'delete at last waypoint'
I once come across this bugga....and it fires it's cannons at me http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ys/4_6_100.gif http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/530...gdutchman2.jpg |
I'm absolutely sure that she don't changed course or speed, just vanished!
Probably GoldenRivet and jimbuna has right,that the ship was deleted because she reached the last waypoint, or maybe some other bug. Anyway it was a weird experience. Who knows what else is out there: giant octopus,mermaid...:) |
... aah, could have been a Gas hydrate release. When there is a subsea eruption the methane will cause a passing vessel entering the realease zone to lose buoyancy and sink. I am quite sure that was it. Methane! What did you eat before you played??
:har::woot::haha: |

Next thing they'll claim hearing whales and dolphins on the sonar!

Jim,
Shrimp do not fart. They 'frip'. (sort of like the other gender). http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s218210.htm http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3226787 :har: |
