ROTFLMFAO! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

No wonder the Japanese lost the war at sea! They would try to dye their enemies' hulls pink with near misses to embarrass them off of the battlefield!

Then they'd raise these ridiculously huge flags that in a stiff breeze would cause their warships to capsize, hoping the Americans would be paralyzed with side-splitting laughter!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

But seriously, yes, they did use different color dyes to spot their rounds from different ships firing the same caliber shells - makes some sense in daylight for fire control.
