We had in-laws visiting from overseas last week so were doing touristy things, went on a Thames Clipper past the warship, it looks pretty cool from the water.

Oh, we saw that on our Thames Walk the other week. We were wondering what that was about. My companion insisted it was graffiti art of some kind, I said it was Dazzle Ships. In a way we were both right.

This is effectively the opposite of dazzle ships, but one editorial test I took had me summarising Warpaint, a guide to acceptable paints for Royal Navy ships. A hauntingly & hypnotically dull document.

My uncle used to build boats for the US navy, and I remember looking through some of the paint catalogs showing paint chips and milspec numbers for like 9000 different shades of orange which all looked exactly the same to me. A particular boat might spec for, say, any of 4 of those numbers, and they'd have to find a supplier who did one of those 4. The other 8996 colors, which looked exactly the same, were unacceptable.

i hope there are bad procurement officers who just buy job lots of grey paint off ebay because it looks about right and it says it's weatherrproof.

Not dazzle, but this seems like a good thread for it.

Thought this revive was going to be about juggalos and members of KISS evading facial recognition.
