If I may ask, what area were you in?

Yes you may ask
 !I was just off the North East of Luzon--less than 30 nm in fact.

Arr, thankee - always good to know when and where you might encounter the Dutchman.

I seem to remember a post on ( with pics I think? ) subsim about "The Flying Dutchman" shooting her cannons at the enemy. Anyone confirm that?
Anyway a very cool "Easter Egg" Devs.

I have seen it in the Celebes Sea right in the middle of a clear moonless night, pretty spooky!

I just saw the Flying Dutchman for the first time this past weekend. It was in the Luzon Strait in August '44. I had just finished sinking a bunch of Japanese shipping and the patrol aircraft were out looking for me. As I was watching the Dutchman through my 'scope, I observed a Betty make a bombing run on her
 The bombs fell long, so I can't say what would have happened if they had fallen accurately
