for AN-6 |
Measure 31

The design drawing for Measure 31/20L for the Aloe class of net laying ships (AN-6 to AN-37), dated August 21, 1944. This design used three greens vertically, probably haze green (5-HG), ocean green (5-OG) and navy green (5-NG) in a mirrored mottled pattern both port and starboard. This drawing also has two waterlines: a load line and a light load line with the pattern down to both load lines, since they cross.
Each pattern from Design 20L had been created by overlaying a master pattern of greens, brown and black over the outline of the particular class of ship. See the Master pattern for 20L Thus each class ship 20L drawing used a slightly different part of the Master pattern and had a unique final design.
See AN-6 silhouette in color.
