Unfortunately the only link I could find was down, just had this (Which I am sure you saw): Aug 7, 2012 – On 10June four Ottoman ironclads anchored at Sulina used a floating … with paint of a color similar to that of the waters in which they operated. actually that is misleading. it was from this article: weaponsandwarfare.com/?p=59 The full quote is: "By the time of these attacks the Russians had painted their torpedo launches sea-green, the first known instance of the camouflaging of warships with paint of a color similar to that of the waters in which they operated." |

Thanks for the link I hadn't seen that, quite an interesting reed. I wonder how effective it was as camouflage |
