Question for the cognoscienti about Battle of Cape Esperance

For the US side here's a start:

Check the database of camouflage measures applied to ships 1941 - 1945.

I believe that White Ensign Models sells a booklet which identifies the Japanese arsenal paint colors applied to their naval forces, broken down by time and unit.

One trusts that these will all be in 1/700 scale? That's a lot of ships.

Excellent start, guys!  Thanks.

I know that San Francisco and Laffey were both in overall 5-N, and I believe that Helena was as well.  Sorry, but I can't remember the numerical measure designation (I'm so bad at that, I have some sort of a mental block).  Farenholt was in an odd modified camo measure.  I have a picture of her in that scheme on my website:  http://www.devinjpoore.com/modeling.htm

Does anyone here have a color pic of what a ship would look like in Measure 21?  It seems amazing to me that many of these ships were medium blue with dark blue hulls!  Not sure how to represent that -- most of the cruisers seem to be in that scheme though.  The destroyers seem a mix of Measure 12 Mod and Measure 21.  Thanks.
