That's what I'm trying to find out. John Snyder said this in an email yesterday. So, that's how I'm going to have Stan go. "Colors would have been the modern Haze Gray and Deck Gray. No idea about the antifouling.
In that era landing craft (LCVPs, LCMs, LCPLs, etc) had the vertical surfaces painted haze gray, the horizontal surfaces painted dark deck gray, and the bottoms painted black. I don't rmember if the black was a special bottom paint. This was at least the case in the Atlantic Fleet.
