==Comments==
*This is what Volition used to make Kappa wing disappear in [[Mystery of the Trinity]]. As the SEXP description says, ships that vanish do not count as ships that depart, so has-departed-delay will not work. It can be circumvented by using a SEXP tree like this: (is-event-true-delay "Event that uses ship-vanish").
*Similarly, if you apply this to a wing, then [[is-destroyed-delay]] will not trigger. Instead, the given wing will count as departed, even if the fighters not affected by ship-vanish are destroyed. (last tested on: July 5, 2022 nightly build)
*It's also possible to ignore the usage SEXP and use a well-planned departure cue with no warp effect, and this would work most of the times, thanks to its compatibility with has-departed-delay. Ship-vanish is highly recommended, however, if a ship intended to jump out normally should vanish because of a certain event. In that case a departure cue with no warp effect won't do the trick&mdash;that's where ship-vanish comes in.
