Splendid Colo. My only suggestion is to add a date to the file so that the most recent version can be identified. |

I would not recommend any of those links as legitimate references for USN camouflage colors. The color chips on the Wikipedia article have been taken from the Snyder & Short camouflage website (the only legit reference for colors). When used on my drawings, they have given the most "realistic" appearance, hence why I went to the trouble to make a paint chip set for Shipbucket above. |

Added a photo labelling most of the visible "late war" electronics fit on BB-56. The Washington had a fairly standard fit as shown and this may be helpful to others. |
