I recall that early versions of GW were pretty strick as far as Easter Eggs.
When SH 4 came out with it's Ghost Ship?
We found it to be a pretty Cool idea.
The first thing that popped into my mind was a recent Ghost Ship.
Cyclops I'd heard of from past fascinations with the Burmuda Triangle.
It fit the gameing area and close to the time frame.
It also still fit 2 actual sister ships that were sailing dureing WWII.
That was where my real deep interest started with her.
Not as a Ghost or legend.
But the real ship, the real story.
