So did the Italian ships have red keels? If not, were they grey or black keels?

Did their ships have black waterlines above the keel paint? Did they even have painted waterlines?

In most of the b&w photographs, the plain camo paints look very light. Is that a German style grey or is it more "whitish" paint?


Does anyone know?


Thanks,
