Well now one of the techniques is to make the hull too slick for algae and such to get a grip on. Also reduces drag. This is what Maersk uses on their biggest ships: http://www.jotun.com/Datasheets/Down...0__Euk__GB.pdf

Let's have a moment of silence for the crew who mustered one morning and were told, "Today, you will paint the boat!".

not just depth, it has more to do with light, pink works better at night then black itself, iirc it had to do with the wavelength and color of the pink pigments ect ?
it was tested and dropped in ww2 because no sailor wanted to go around in a pink ship...
