                        Measure 32 describes the colors used in the scheme, in this case, 5-L, 5-O, and Black. 5-N Navy Blue was sometimes used in lieu of black.

                        The 22d part is actually the design sheet, in this case, a modified destroyer pattern, hence the 'd'.

                        If you need the pattern, email me and I'll send it over.

                        Regards,

                        For plenty of infor on ship colors and measures go to the ship camouflage site. http://www.shipcamouflage.com/. The only false bow wave I recall at the moment was the measure 5 which was mostly prewar and applied over a measure 1 scheme.

                        I am returning to ship model building and am doing a WWII Missouri 1943-44 period. In my research I have found that during this period it was painted in measure 32 / 22 d. I need clarification on this designation. Does this mean that all vertical surfaces follow the measure 32 scheme and then just the main deck follows the measure 22 scheme? Also does any one know how wide spread was the painting of false wakes on the bow of major combatant ships for the USN?
