Measurements were made of the color of the sea and sky, and from an analysis of these low visibility ship camouflage is worked out which amounts to (a) painting the entire ship a fairly dark color for clear weather and aerial observer, and (b) painting the ship the present Navy gray for hazy, overcast, and thick weather. Experiments are under way at this Laboratory to determine the effectiveness of dyes in reducing the visibility of the periscope feather. An experiment is suggested with phosphorescent paint as a means of reducing night visibility.
