Ship Camo During WW1

Head of Allied Forces: So Guys...How are we gonna confuse the fuck outta these Germans with their annoying fucking U-Boats.

Intern: Confuse the fuck outta them with crazy geometric patterns. They won't know how to handle the situation.





what i said above was not true. A british artist/navel officer named Norman Wilkinson thought that painting geometric patterns on ships would confuse the U-boats as to where the allied ships were heading. I don't know what effect this had on the U-boats, but who cares when it looks so cool.

VERDICT? APPROVED, PLEASE SEND ALL US SHIPS TO BE PAINTED LIKE THESE SHIPS. AND I DON"T CARE IF IT MAKES THE SHIPS STAND OUT MORE.
