Drawing

The design drawing for Measure 32/3C for the Omaha class light cruisers drawn on an unidentified date, but probably 1943. The style of this drawing indicates that this was an early design drawing. The vertical colors were specified to be pale gray (5-P), haze gray (5-H) and navy blue (5-N) with solid deck blue (20-B) on the horizontal surfaces. This color selection was usually identified as Measure 33; Measure 32 colors would usually be light gray (5-L), ocean gray (5-O) and dull black (BK) on the vertical surfaces.

No other Design 3C drawings have been found.

Original drawing source: NARA 80-G-152117 and 80-G-152119.
