I thought the Dutchman was an SH4 Easter Egg or was that another thing the devs took from SH3 and imported over to SH4?

The Dutchman is a mod for SH3 titled NFD. My version of the mod has no name in the readme, so I can not say for certain who made it.

The FD travels the straits of Luzon in SH4; he is regularly attacked by Japanese destoyers who cant seem to understand that its 'not there'. It has been well documented in SH4 section

I've actually got a funny story involving the Dutchman. I was playing with my normal setup of TMO+RSRDC and was heading to that Atoll south of Hawaii that serves as a refueling depot and my crew spotted what I though was a destroyer patrolling the Atoll. Well I went to bridge view and what do I see? The Flying Dutchman sailing right in front of me! No idea why she was patrolling the Atoll but I figured it must've been a one time thing and figured that next patrol she'd be gone. Well I was dead wrong as it seems that navy enlisted her to serve throughout the war as I could always find her patrolling that Atoll. I've still yet to see her in the Luzon Straits though.
