Are there any color photos of the ship with her very late measure 21 setup?

 

I would like to see what she looked like as the "black dragon"

Building USS New Jersey, Oct 1944 and getting a little confused as to paing schema.  Is Meausre 22 correct for this time period ? and if so, where is a cross walk  to current paint suppliers  e.g Navy Blue 5-N corresponds to Tamiya acrylics?

If I am off  on measure 22,  how should the ship be painted?

Thanks 

The shipcamouflage.com database has the New Jersey in Ms 21 during 1943 and 1944.   She went to Ms 22 in 1945.

Photos of her taken during a storm in November, 1944 show what maye be interpreted as lighter upperworks of Ms22.  According to her DANFS entry she had a yard period in Pearl during August 1944.   If she was repainted it would habe occured during that time
