Description
During the Second World War navies developed low visibility camouflage for their ships,
on both the vertical and horizontal surfaces, in order reduce visibility by blending in with
the sea, or confuse the identity of a ship by applying more obtrusive patters. In this the
second volume by maritime artist Mal Wright, both the official and unofficial paint
schemes that adorned the capital ships of the Royal Navy and Commonwealth are
depicted in detail, along with discussions on changes of armament and electronics that
effected the outward appearance of each ship.
Beginning with the Royal Sovereign class, the book goes on to cover all the other
battleship classes as well as the battlecruisers, monitors, the first and second generation
carriers as well as light and escort carriers. Where possible both sides of the ship are
depicted, and there are multiple images of the ships where armament or equipment
changes had a fundamental impact on a ships appearance.
