On page 99 of "The T-class submarine: The classic British design", there's a photo of HMS Trenchant returning to Fremantle sporting a very strange paint scheme. It might not be the dazzle paint design but it doesn't look standard either.

*EDIT*
And on page 120, HMS Thrasher is definitely sporting a dazzle paint scheme. Although the picture is post war (October 1945), there is no way they would repaint her just before scrapping her so it's almost certainly a wartime scheme.

found it ! :



p.99




P.120

and the one Jan found :

HMS Storm entering Haslar Creek, Gosport, on her return from the Far East





I definetely like the first one !

If someone would be so kind as to make a skin for the T Class with that paint scheme, I'd be a happy sailor indeed
