| OTD: False bow-waves were officially adopted on the 6th of April 1915 and ordered to be painted on all ships to counter the efficiency of submarine attacks. This form of camouflage made it hard for submarines to estimate the ship’s speed and range due to the distortions it created. |

Maybe it was effective camouflage, but it certainly made the ship look butt-ugly.
ReplyDeleteJaysus! think of all the man hours it took for the crew to paint this design on their ship.
