Description: | whole: a schematic drawing for Dazzle camouflage, featuring a hand-drawn and hand-painted port-side view of a warship. Two
superstructure details have been applied above the ship scheme. All major text is hand-lettered, with the colour designations applied with
an ink stamp.
image: a port-side view of a Royal Navy '24 Class' sweeping sloop, representing HMS Ormonde and HMS Merryhampton. The scheme incorporates
flowing, irregular shapes, coloured blue grey, blue, black and white. These are combined with three rectangular blocks, placed midway along
the hull and coloured black, blue grey 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 |
