It has been seen by many. You can not sink it. Even the Japanese have tried. It is not possible.

There are also about two pages or more of thread here at subsim with discussions about her. Sometimes she is so fast you can not get near her but if your course puts you close enough she will slow down. Then you can have a nice quite close encounter and see the people on board. Men, women all moving about the ship.

It has also bee seen on rare occasions around Johnston Island but 99% of the sightings are around the straights of Luzon.

I do not know how you take screen shots put I never use the ingame version. I always use PRINTSCREEN on the key board then paste that into my Editing software.

thats what i did keyboard prtscn and dropped in the crap forgot the box name,, but it came out black.. i caught it doing 23 knots, hit it with 3 torps, it slows down each hit, then i hit it with a missle.. yeah im cheating i have the typhoon

Funny enough Johnston is the only place I see her. Every time I refuel from there she's patrolling the Atoll

merc4ulfate · 12-29-13, 11:47 AM

Darn I have been hitting Johnston for months after leaving Pearl and I have not seen her. I'm going to have to look harder.

russ663 · 12-29-13, 12:09 PM

its at end of war and right in luzon straits.. on 3x missions seen her and on one mission after running the straits and south china sea found her total of 3x.... got some good close up and screen prts but they are black. gonna have to find a editor to view them.. lots of women on that ship

swdw · 12-29-13, 02:46 PM

Still haven't seen the Dutchman.

I'm jealous.

If your looking for a great photo editor then I suggest you download and run GIMP.

http://www.gimp.org/

Believe it or not it is free and as about as close to a professional program you'll ever see without spending 600 dollars.

I use it for Editing my photography work. It is a superb program. The Manual is online at the web site.

So last night, I was playing an early war US Sub in early 1942. I was cruising off the northern coast of Luzon when my sonarman reported a contact. I followed it and shortly I saw what looked like a downed airman in the distance trying to signal with emerald smoke. As I sped up and got close enough, there was a glowing 17th century 3 masted ship moving very fast. It even had a ghost crew. All were glowing. Has anyone else run into this awesome easter egg? I will try to post pics
