The Flying Dutchman

Yep, I saw this ghost ship last night.
I remember I sunk 2 enemy shipping groups (15 + ships? refit in between.) before I saw this thing.

Gunner won't open fire on it, so I did it myself. After I hit it couple of times and + 1 torpedo hit, it stopped and nothing will hit it ever again. I even drove my sub right through it.

The name of the ship is - "What is it". I guess it's a joke from the developers.

I was North of Luzon when I had a radar contact that was moving at very high speed. When I click on the contact on the radar the title said "What is this". I tried to catch it at flank but I never could. All I saw on the bridge was a blue-gray fog. That was the closest I've gotten and it was only the once.

What is funny, the first time I encountered it I heard it on the sonar. I did not know Capt Kid had two diesels on his tall ship. Anyway, the crew stopped sniffing the fuel and we never saw the ship again.

It has a renown value of 1200 points if you sink it, and a place in ledgened if you succeed!

I'm glad the developers have a sense of humour. Anybody know where you have the highest probability of seeing it?
