Description: | Kj
whole: a schematic drawing for Dazzle camouflage, featuring a hand-drawn and hand-painted starboard view of a warship. All
major text is hand-lettered, with the colour designations applied with an ink stamp.
image: a starboard view of a Royal Navy '24 Class' sweeping sloop, representing HMS Ormonde and HMS Merryhampton. The scheme incorporates
flowing, irregular, 'wave-like' shapes, coloured grey, blue grey, blue, black and white.
HMS Order Nos. 63/64.
'Group E' was part of a sequence of 'shared' Dazzle camouflage schemes [Groups 'A' to 'G'] intended to serve the Royal Navy's fleet of '24
Class' sweeping sloops.
The port-side design must be considered the principle drawing of the two schemes as it carries the ship and scheme details, as well as the
superstructure camouflage scheme. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | shipping Transport Department Ministry of Shipping First Battle of the Atlantic 1914-1918 Royal Navy Dazzle Section Camouflage dazzle / marine camouflage First World War Atlantic Ocean ORMONDE (HMS) MERRYHAMPTON (HMS) | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Ministry of Shipping, Transport Department | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
