Footnotes

Reassigned to this new Design by the BuShips 6/10/44 memo to ComServPac that listed ships that had been reassigned from the 10/11/43 letter #0937.

Camouflage Measure and Design was assigned in 10/11/43 ComServPac letter #0937 to the BuShips which assigned camouflage Designs to most ships in the Pacific Fleet.

DD-450 was assigned 31/24D in 10/11/43 ComServPac letter, but was sent Design 31/23D on 7/24/44.

DD-509 was sent 32/18D on 7/6/44, but by 10/9/44 was painted in 32/2C.

DD-513 was sent 32/14D, but photos reveal 31/14D with black and haze gray. Based on deck logs DD-513 was probably painted on 1/18/44.

DD-521 was photographed in 32/6D in early 1944 while assigned to Alaska Command, later was photographed in 32/13D at Mare Island on 10/5/44, even though assigned 32/18D in 10/11/43 ComServPac letter #0937 to the Bureau of Ships.

DD-536 was assigned 31/9D in 10/11/43 letter #0937, but was sent drawings for 31/11D on 8/1/44 instead.

DD-573 was assigned 32/3D in 10/11/43 letter, was sent 32/3D on 12/15/43 and painted in 32/3D even though later was reassigned to 32/2C by the 6/10/44 memo.

DD-597 was partially painted in 32/11D before commissionimg, but was commissiomed on 2/22/45 wearing Measure 22.

*10

DD-642 was assigned 31/7D in 10/11/43 letter, but painted 31/11D instead.

*11

DD-644 was assigned 31/9D in 10/11/43 letter, but painted 32/10D instead.

*12

DD-650 was assigned 31/23D in 10/11/43 letter but was sent drawings for 31/22D on 1/22/44 instead.

*13

DD-653 was assigned 32/13D in 10/11/43 letter but was sent drawings for 32/24D on 12/30/43 instead.

*14

Camouflage 31/10D was assigned in 10/11/43 ComServPac letter #0937 to the BuShips, however, DD-660 was sent 32/10D on 1/20/44. This is assessed to be a mistake and not a typo since DD-660 painted in Measure 32.

*15

DD-673 was assigned 32/13D in 10/11/43 letter, but was sent 32/23D instead.

*16

DD-682 was sent drawing 31/11D on 4/8/44, but had previously painted in 31/7D and remained in 7D.

*17

DD-685 was assigned 32/13D in 10/11/43 letter, but was sent 31/13D instead and may have painted 13D using haze gray and black.

*18

There exists a photograph on NavSource of a Fletcher class DD with a suspect hull number that appears to be 796 wearing 31/6D that was taken probably in early 1945, but the ship in this photo matches another photo of DD-798.

*19

DD-804 was sent drawing 32/16D on 6/9/44, but painted in 31/11D.
