Covers the official and unofficial paint schemes that adorned ships of the Royal Navy and Commonwealth during World War II are depicted in detail. The navies developed low visibility camouflage for their ships, on both the vertical and horizontal surfaces, in order to reduce visibility by blending in with the sea, or to confuse the identity of a ship by applying more obtrusive patterns. Covers destroyers and smaller warships to provide a detailed, class by class, and easy-to-use painting guide. In some cases, individual ships are shown in the several schemes they wore at various periods of service. Contains 740 full color illustrations, all of named vessels.
