Re: "Deceptive" camouflage US Navy
Hi Ed. Ship type and target angle too, also part of the design was visible and part lost as recognised in "SHIPS-2" March 1943. "BuSHIPS C-519-7/631 20 Feb. 1945 ordered Measures 12/21/22 for surface ships superceding "Dazzle" schemes, including carriers in service and under construction ( MS12 on "Hancock") these were simpler schemes; on 10 Aug. 1946 12CL-46 revised the scheme for all surface vessels as Measure 13 Haze Gray.
