Introduction to Ship Camouflage
Ship camouflage, particularly 'dazzle' camouflage, emerged during World War I as a strategic method to protect naval vessels from enemy fire.
Historical Context
The concept was pioneered by British artist and naval officer Norman Wilkinson, who recognized that traditional camouflage techniques were ineffective at sea due to the dynamic and unpredictable environment.
Techniques and Innovations
Dazzle camouflage involved breaking up the ship's silhouette with bold, contrasting colors and geometric patterns. The goal was not to hide the ship entirely but to create optical illusions that would confuse enemy gunners about the ship's position and course.
