Hi all.

I recently became aware of the ghost ships in SH4. I'm speaking of the flying Dutchman and the USS Cyclops ships. After googling, I've seen screen shots and/or youtube video of them. I realize that there are some posts as well, but I wanted to begin a new one since the info I've found was a bit scattered.

Although I am involved in a career currently. I would like to begin a search for these ships, on the side. Or any other easter eggs that might be in the game.

From what I have gathered...I should be searching in the Luzon Strait area around the years '44-'45. A ship appearing on the map as friendly blue icon, saying "what is this?". These are the only things I have to go on to begin my search.

One of the things I love about SH4 is using the exterior camera to snap unique screenshots or to explore the environment. I really want to find these ships so that I can capture them by screenshot or video.

Could anyone out there offer some advise for finding these ships?

Thanx all, for your time.
