Dazzle painting, WW1
Photograph showing the experimental theatre on which dazzle designs, to camouflage ships were tested, The officer on the right is observing a model through a periscope. The two photographs above show the same ship painted in dazzle and one not. The concept behind dazzle was to confuse submarines who were unable to calculate a ships distance because of the breaking up accepted lines and general form. It also meant that longer observation was required through a periscope which meant the position of the submarine might also be detected by a lookout and attack avoided by alteration of course. Date: 1919
