This texture represents disruptive camoflage schemes, which would typically be found only on warships and naval merchant vessels (i.e. fleet oilers, attack cargo ships, and stores ships). AFAIK the paint scheme was not intended to conceal the ship so much as it was to confuse enemies as to the heading. I personally have never had much trouble determining the direction of targets, regardless of what scheme they use.
Because it was so uncommon I may add additional grey schemes to the Merchant Variety Pack's successor in order to reduce encounters with disruptive-patterned ships.
