Drawing
The drawing for Design 32a/29D for the Ellyson class high speed minesweepers has not yet been found, but probably was drawn in November 1944, since Macomb was photographed in 29D on December 20, 1944. The specified vertical colors were ocean gray (5-O) and haze gray (5-H). Since, the contrast betweem ocean gray and haze gray was so small, some ships may have used navy blue and haze gray.
There has been no other version of Design 29D yet found.
A redrawn version of this camouflage can be obtained at The Floating Drydock: floatingdrydock.com.
