Re: Pearl Harbor battleships color-scheme

Keep in mind that most warship camo schemes concetrated on making the ship hard to see for subs or surface ships. From the air it is almost impossible to hide a moving ship due to the extremely visible wake. Red, blue, green or even white turret tops are insignificant compared to a wake a mile or two long.

The only times you see anti-air camo were in special situations where a ship was going to be stationary for a long time or as an attempt to disguise what the ship really was.
