WWI, USS West Mahomet, Dazzle Camouflage,1918

USS West Mahomet in port, 1918, her dazzle camouflage greatly distorts the apparent aspect of her bow. Dazzle camouflage was a family of ship camouflage used extensively in WWI, and to a lesser extent in WWII and afterwards. Credited to the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson it consisted of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colors, interrupting and intersecting each other. The intention of dazzle was not to conceal but to make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed, and heading. (cropped and cleaned).
