USS St Lo, CVE-63
Posted by reddog-03 on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 6:51 PM

Does anyone have any good line drawings of the USS St Lo?  I'm also looking for photos or diagrams showing the camouflage measures she wore in October 1944.

Thanks.

According to the shipcamouflage.com database the StLo was in Ms32/15a in 1944

 

 

 

 

 

James Corley of Nautilus Models has gleaned some camouflage drawings from the bowels of the USNHC.  These are catalogued and prepared for publication,  but have not seen the light of day on the web yet.

This is exactly what I was looking for!  It perfectly matches the few period photos I've been able to find.  Thanks a million.
