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.I know they are a little lazy,so I checked myself,nothing.Raised the
periscope,nothing,made a full circle with the periscope,nothing.Surfaced,the result was again the same,nothing,
no visual contact.The ship disappeared.One moment she was there and a second later disappeared.A real ghost ship.The
only explanation is that it was a ghost of some large merchant sunked before.They come back to hunt us down.
I suspect your problem is associated with the end waypoint of the ship being reached.

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.
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.
