    I found this fascinating... http://www.risd.edu/dazzle/

    Rhode Island School of Design was given the US Navy designs for dazzle camouflage by a camofleur who attended the school after World War II. They currently have over 400 designs and a number of photographs on display at their Fleet Library in Providence, RI through March 29th.

    Wow! Very cool to have so many patterns together in one collection. My dream megayacht would definitely be wearing one of those. Would harbor masters object?

    "what color do you thell them to look for?"

    I don't know, but if images made noise this one would sound like glass breaking.

    Hilarious guys!! :D I assume that tub is a rendering of a concept? Not an actual boat? At least the dazzle theme works well, I wouldn't know where to aim first ....

    All of them? :D


    Apparently Guilty got some of its inspiration from the dazzle camouflage schemes.

    I suppose. But their result is not nearly so attractive as the nicer dazzle ships.
