Broithe Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 These days, it's necessary, in some areas, to have anti-RPG cages on, to force the detonation a bit early. They also give an opportunity for hanging some camouflage on. This is a Spartan under all that. Quote

DiveController Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 This is to be used as a lightship or a ferry? The crew should be able to find where they docked her even after a few beers! Probably look better after a few........ Quote

Broithe Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Mmm, I was just wondering if the cavalry ever got issued with zebras.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]17406[/ATTACH] Right, well it seems that some cavalry horses did actually get painted up in a dazzle scheme during the East Africa campaign in WW1.. You mean dazzle ponies, right? Yeah, probably more of a pony - on the small side.. Quote

Broithe Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Some US ships still carried dazzle camouflage in WW2. The ship in the picture, along with 23 others, was built in sections in the Rocky Mountains, then transported 1,000 miles to the coast for final assembly. 3 Quote
