Descripción

During the Second World War navies developed low visibility camouflages, applied to both the vertical and horizontal surfaces of their ships, in order to reduce visibility by blending in with the sea, or confuse the identity of a ship by applying obtrusive patterns. In this book by maritime artist Malcolm Wright, all the paint schemes that adorned the battleships and carriers of the Royal Navy and Commonweatlh are depicted in detail, along with discussion on changes of armament and electronics that affected the outward appearance of each ship.
