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?

I saw her several times while on patrol in the Luzon Straits in the first stock version of SH4. Plotted speed at around 35kts if I remember right. Couldn't chase her down. Haven't seen her after later patches and with mods added.

Time wise, don't remember for sure, but I was using gato/balao class on assigned area near Luzon, probably 50 miles out with a 72 hr patrol. Radar Contact only.

Heading NE on one occasion and NW on another.

I did manage to get some screen shots.

Still I have a couple of savegame approaching the ship, is a very mystic experience, specially in the night....but is damn fast, if you are a little bit off in the interception course, no matter what you could do, those sail will go more fast than your "modern" engines.

I added a fleet of them into RSRD once, near the Solomons, it funny, they attack the Japs, sunk several DD's...Course unfair battle, since they don't take damage, but the Japs attacked them back...Not sure how those old smooth bore cannon can sink a ship, but it was funny watching about 8 Dutchmen take on a Kongo TF.

Just spotted it off Johnston Island on my way to a patrol near Guam in May of '42. Very cool.

Saw it inSH3 in a storm, Kind of glowing green. could not catch it with stock VII.
MODed speed but now can not find it. same location, date and time but it seems when you restart your career things change.
