A composite of the two drawings for Measure 33 Design 7A for the Bogue class escort carriers dated September 4, 1943. The vertical colors were specified to be navy blue (5-N), haze gray (5-H) and pale gray (5-P) with some panels of white (5-U) for countershading. The horizontal surfaces were specified to be deck blue (20-B).
The first version of Design 7A seems to have been for the Bogue class escort carriers on September 4, 1943, using Measure 33 colors. Then probably in November 1943, Design 7A was redrawn for the Independence class light carriers also in Measure 33. On January 19, 1944, Design 7A was drawn up for the Iowa class battleships using Measure 32.
Original drawing source: NARA 80-G-109715 and 80-G-109716.
