Wow is it dark at night...realistic?

Ok, its been awhile since I've been out on the ocean, I'll admit. But in the middle of the night with the moon shining and all the stars, is it realistic that it is SO unbelievably dark? I mean its so dark that I can't see ships until I'm almost literally on top of them. (I mean me, not necessarily the crew, though I do believe they're blind at night due to other issues). Wouldn't there be a lot of ambient light on the ocean? I mean its to the point where I hate the night because I can't see anything.

Or perhaps is it my game? Some setting perhaps? A gamma slider I can raise?
