The drawing for Design 32/14D drawn for the heavy cruiser USS Wichita dated June 28, 1944. The Measure 32 vertical colors were dull black (BK), ocean gray (5-O) and light gray (5-L) with the horizontal surfaces having a pattern of deck blue (20-B) and ocean gray (5-O). There is no evidence that this design was ever applied.
A Design 14D drawing was attached to the July 15, 1943, memo to PacFleet for the Benson class destroyers. This design was also used as above on the cruiser USS Pensacola (CA-24) in Measure 32 colors and USS Salt Lake City (CA-25) in Measure 33 colors using 5-N.
Design 14D was used by seven Fletcher class destroyers in two colors and over twenty destroyer escorts in both two and three colors.
