Drawing
Drawing 32a/28D for the Robert H. Smith class light minelayers modified from Allen M. Sumner class destroyers dated November 25, 1944. The vertical colors are ocean gray (5-O) and haze gray (5-H). The ship profile that was used for this drawing was really of the Allen M. Sumner DD-692 class destroyers. The main difference was that the after torpedo tubes had been removed and the depth charge throwers raised to the former torpedo tube level to make room for mine rails along the deck edge.
