Category:Dazzle camouflage
A method of painting ships, starting in the First World War, intended to protect them from attack. The mechanisms of dazzle camouflage are unclear and have not been demonstrated scientifically, but it was intended to cause the enemy to take up a poor firing position, whether by making an error in estimating the target ship's speed (as with false painted bow waves) or heading (as with a false bow created by breaks in the dazzle pattern).
