The book discussed on that site about US Camo patterns called SHIPS-2, I have found a link to the 1942 revision 2 if that is of any use:

Hope that helps

Oah god. language I cant understand.

(good luck with the Wild night in bankok avatar.)

The pic of the USS West Mahomet that Task Force re-posted just above is the perfect example. Just imagine trying to place the bow on that, in rough seas in the North Atlantic, through a periscope. What Task Force is missing is that nobody expected it to ever conceal, it is meant to confuse.

Aaaah Its ment to confuse.

Lets paint the distroyers Hot pink!:rotfl:

Will a sub do?



Operation Petticoat skins anyone?

Back to the topic a bit. It seems the USN experimented with Dazzle (or Razzle Dazzle as it was known in the US) and splinter camo on several subs, but the photographic record is sparse. Where it does exist the black and white photos are only of help to patterns, not colors. As a "realistic" skin, probably stretching it. But if the people who can, and like to do skins are interested it sure gives them a nice canvas to "play" on. Some of us will love them, some won't. But they don't have to download or see them in that case. So if you guys are having fun with it, I say please keep it up. If not, I am pleased with the 2 that you guys have given us and say thanks again!
