The blue doesn't look like the correct shade, but don't take my criticism too seriously...this is a better job at camo than I could ever do.

Fire when ready.
aiming....nah it looks good. but make sure the hull color are darker than superstructure color, and all shading is where it shall be. I'm saying that, because it looks a bit plane for some reason! |

I just discovered that I was wrong. I was under the mistacken view that the scheme that I portrayed was for both the Tennessee and Colorado Classes. It turns out that it was for the Colorado class only. I am unable to find a drawing that clearly shows the distinction between flat black and the blue. The drawings I have makes them look the same. |

Try this: http://www.shipcamouflage.com/usn_bb.htm That is the go-to site for camouflage information. Here's the camouflage design sheet for Tennessee's Measure 32/1D: ![[ img ]](http://www.shipcamouflage.com/DesignSheets/M32_1D_BB-43.jpg) There is no Ocean Grey (5-O) in this scheme - only Light Grey (5-L) and Dull Black (BK). The Deck Blue (20-B) color listed on the sheet was painted on the ship's deck and as such will not be visible in an elevation view of the ship. |

I wonder how much they could've rebuilt the hull since they put in so much into the superstructure, not to mention the huge-ass torpedo bulges (which ended up reducing top speed to 19-20 knots). I wonder if they could've extended the stern like the Japanese did the Kongos to get the hull speed up to, maybe, very optimistically, 25 knots? |

The blue is not among the black - like I said in the post, the Deck Blue is only applied to the deck itself - and as such is not visible in the elevation views.  It's a pattern consisting entirely of Light Gray and Dull Black. Funnily enough it's the same "Design" (1D) as that applied to Alaska in 1944: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/161 ... 201944.png
