Drawing
The design drawing for Measure 31/4D for the Fletcher class destroyers that was attached to the March 1943 Supplement to SHIPS-2. The vertical colors were ocean green (5-OG) with a sprayed pattern of navy green (5-NG). The horizontal pattern used ocean green (5-OG) and 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. Also the profile used for the Fletcher was an early (design?) version with out shields on 5-inch guns number three and four.
This is the only Design 4D that has yet been found.
Original drawing source: March 1943 Supplement to SHIPS-2 Plate XXXII.
