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.

It's funny I see this thread. I just spotted the Dutchman for the first time a little bit ago. I posted some shots in the screenshot thread if anyone is interested. I had spotted it while patrolling the Luzon Straits. I picked it up on radar and moved to intercept. To my surprise I saw the Flying Dutchman.

Sounds like the Luzon Straights are the place to be. I've almost finished a game on the U-Boat side and I'll start one up on the Fleet Boats side and go ghost hunting.

Mind you....if I never post again on this forum you'll know why.

200 points to the first one to sink it!!

I saw it the other day, as everyone else it was at the Luzon strait.

I got the a couple of short videos although

I'm afraid they are a bit too dark, the original ones are not so dark but once I upload them to youtube they get darker; if anybody knows how to make them clearer I'll upload them again.

It's funny how I found it in the Luzon strait (As Always). I Happen to use a mod where you have a modern submarine, Top speed 36 knots. I don't remember the exact speed of this ghost ship, but it was something around 35 as I barely caught up with it with full speed. Strange how it suddenly disappeared...

You know your replying to a thread that is two years old?

As I write this, the Barbarinna is in contact of the Dutchman. Date: 06/24/44. North of Luzon. Coordinates: N 21'08", E 121'02"; Time: 0252 hrs. It is heading due east, right at my position; however my deck gun is taking too long to load, so I will probably just be able to wave as it sails by.

Note: First shot with deck gun was short. But I got two more shots off at a range of 2,000 yds with the deck gun. Both passed through the target. It is moving away in a northerly/easterly direction at 23.5 kts.

It is real.

And now you can build a model of it, and it glows in the dark as well!

denny927 · 03-20-12, 05:56 PM

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.

Armistead · 03-21-12, 03:24 AM

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.
