Ένα θωρηκτό Dreadnought σε καμουφλάζ «θαμπώματος» (1917). Το καμουφλάζ Dazzle (επίσης γνωστό ως Razzle Dazzle ή Dazzle painting) ήταν ένα στρατιωτικό σχέδιο χρωμάτων καμουφλάζ που χρησιμοποιήθηκε σε πλοία, εκτενώς κατά τον Α’ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο και σε μικρότερο βαθμό στον Β’ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο.

What Battleship ?
Aaron Gasson can barely see that
Owing more than a passing credit to Picasso and Cubism…. https://colinmoss.info/cubism-camouflage-colin-moss/
Michael Elliott Here’s another “little known fact” that you are so good at! It’s what makes history more interesting.
Clever
Did it work?! 🤣
Captain, I see a zebra
Stephen Mann. Ever heard of this before?
Titanic’s sister Olympic had it too
HMT Mauretania, Not USS Leviathan 🤦
Need some Mountbatten pink.
How can you people possibly identify what ship this is? It is camouflaged, is ‘t it????? 😋
It certainly is incredible. I knew it was sometimes used in WW2, never knew it originated in WW1. Thank you for the new knowledge.
French cruiser Glorie in 1942
Nope, nothing to see here! Definitely NOT a ship, just a gigantic floating zebra!
All I’d have to say that pretty much does the job.
What ship? Can’t see any ship.
It should have been called a zebra ship
That’s not dreadnought
Did it ever work? In my experience at sea, a ship at 5 miles is defined by its shape, not its colour scheme.
Naval hippies, no doubt.
From what I can see it makes it mire visible not less.
Ellsworth Kelly, the noted abstract painter, designed these when he was in the Navy
French light cruiser.
By ’44, at the latest, must have been patently obvious that Radar is colour blind………..
Love the cammo paint schemes.
Wrong class of Ship in the picture, but the camouflage painting is correct for the time period.
If you ever played the game Battlefield 1 you know this ship
Strange how you hardly ever see them represented in history documentaries about Naval battles.
Thats french La Galissonnere (probably butchered the spelling :)) class light cruiser not a dreadnought.
They must have handed out sunglasses and buckets of Tylenol to each sailor.
