Re: Dazzle Camo

You will find a fairly extensive history of naval camouflage at
http://www.shipcamouflage.com/ .

The short form: dazzle is not intended to hide a ship, but to make it
difficult to determine the target's speed and course.  The technique
uses highly contrasting colors painted in stripes and angles that do not
align with the ship's natural lines, thus confusing the eye.  Of course,
with the advent of radar and sonar, this is less valuable.
