Question for the Small Combatants experts here

Being as it was taken in Sept. '44, I'd guess some kind of gray, or possibly a bluish/gray, but that is just a S.W.A.G.  Not up on any of that with the small boys.

Definitly lighter than the rubber raft on the foredeck, and I would suspect it would be a dark gray, or gray/black.

Hard to tell what the object is on the starboard side just in front of the aft port fender.  I suspect the other item (just behind the box on deck) might be an air intake for the engines, as it looks to be more centered on the deck.

To me she doesn't look to have either roll racks or throwers.

Hi Tim ;

 Based on what I can see . I would say possibly , No . The thing is she could have some on the side aft we cannot see clearly . She definitely appears to have a rather large smoke generator though .  T.B.

Tim;

 I would say , to my eyes it looks like a Medium sea grey .I could be wrong .  T.B.
