jeeff: is that a normal paint job for a ship like that?

jeeff: 8th Sep 2005 - 01:52 GMT

ps. good to see you back, even though you endanger my spot on the top 10. ;)

elaine: camoflage, innit.

jeeff: 8th Sep 2005 - 11:15 GMT

so i guessed. it's just weird to think that those patterns could camouflage anything.

elaine: 8th Sep 2005 - 12:04 GMT

yeah, but my guess is that being at sea is a bit like being in a desert, but with choppier waves and refracted light. hard to test the theory without taking the boat out, and i don't think they'd let us.

looks like it might even have been a later addition, but anyway here you can see it coming into it's current location, tower bridge open for a boat hmsbelfast.iwm.org.uk/server/show/nav.00e00400a

yeah, apparently they used some weird styles of "sea camouflage" back in the day... check this one out:

The dazzle ships were real (and also the name of an OMD album).

camouflage made it difficult to tell in which direction the ship was headed.
