US Navy anti-foul blue color?

On the Net, I found various pics and posts which describe US Navy ships painted with a blue anti-fouling colored paint.

I'm tired of seeing the same old, same old red hull bottoms so common on ships. I want to paint the hull bottom of my LCS (Littoral Combat Ship) the same blue color that I found in the above pic.
What blue colors might be good from Testor, Tamiya, Floquil, or Pollyscale? I'd prefer acrylic, but can use enamal if needed. Are most real Navy ships painted with a flat, semi-gloss, or glossy red anti-fouling color? What should I use for my LCS?
