Drawing

This is what the drawing for Measure 32 Design 6A for the Haskell class of attack transports using a (VC2-S-AP5) maritime hull may have looked like. This was probably dated June or July 1944. This design used the standard vertical colors for Measure 32: dull black (BK), ocean gray (5-O) and light gray (5-L) with deck blue (20-B) for the horizontal color.

The first Design 6A drawing was for the Essex class carriers on July 19, 1943. Design 6A was then redrawn for the USS Terror class minelayers on April 9, 1944. Design 6A was redrawn on May 26, 1944, for the USS Wright (AV-1) seaplane tender in Measure 32 colors. Later in June it was drawn up for transports.

Original drawing source: NARA 80-G-000000.
