| Post subject: | Anti-fouling paint question |
Greetings! I am working on a reboot for Nusantara in WW2 and have question: I am familiar with the red/rust toned anti-fouling paint used by several nations during this period (1935-1945) such as the US and UK. However, I have read that some Japanese and Italian ships used a green-tinted (and apparently very toxic) paint on their warships. In addition, I have seen a blue tint on some ships throughout the forums. Could someone please clarify this? I apologize if this issue has been addressed previously. Thank you! Cheers!

The color of the paint is determined by what exact substance is used to make the hull unpleasant to sealife. There is quite a wide range of colors, even among some navies. The Royal Navy in WW1 had black, dark/light grey, brown-red, red and green colors. I'm unaware of green being used by the Japanese, but the Russians, the French, the Italians nad the Austro-Hungarians used mostly green, or a teal-ish color, with France using red by the 30s and 40s. The Italians used mostly green on their large ships. |
