Aircraft Carriers

The drawing for Measure 31 Design 5A for for the Sangamon class escort carriers that was attached to the March 1943 Supplement to SHIPS-2. At that time the Sangemon class was labeled ACV, auxilliary aircraft carrier, instead of later CVE, escort carrier. The vertical colors were specified to be dull black (BK), ocean green (5-OG) and haze green (5-HG) with the horizontal surfaces deck green (20-G). Note, because of the lack of control in the color reproduction process, these colors may not be a true match to the actual colors.

This is only Design 5A drawing that has been found.
