You might want to ad that to the text in the picture.
Like so:
USA, Fletcher Class
DD-557 Johnston
During battle of Samar (or even better if you ask me) 5th may 1943 - 28th June 1943*
(Colloseum, Klagldsf, Ollie)
*I haven't got a clue about the exact dates, but anyway, put in the date when it got painted and when it got repainted or sunk or whatever came first.
This is, of course, just my personal preference. I hate opening a file called shipname 1.png and seeing a ship in nonestandard colours and then not knowing when and or why it was painted that way.
But again, that's just me.
