#Dazzle camouflage download
People will be asked to turn off their lights and replace them with either a candle or a specially commissioned digital light which will be available to download for free. The Lights Out project is inspired by then foreign secretary Sir Edward Grey’s remark at the outbreak of the war that: ‘The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.’
Other initiatives announced yesterday include a letter-writing project and an hour's darkness across the UK on the night of the centenary. The camouflaged ships would have been an everday site during the First World War, when they were docked around Britain in between missions. HMS Tamar has revived the tradition with a new dazzle paint job (Picture: Royal Navy).The President was previously painted in dazzle camouflage during the First World War, when it was deployed as a submarine hunter tracking down German U-boats.ġ4-18 NOW, the charity responsible for the project, said: 'These eye-catching additions to the dockside scenery remind local people and visitors of the crucial role ships played in the country’s wartime survival.'ĭazzle camouflage was originally inspired by modernist artworks, making it a poignant choice for the national art project. HMS Severn is among contemporary Navy ships to be painted in Western Approaches. It was then replicated for other destroyers and small ships engaged in anti-submarine operations, designed to "hide" the vessels. The decks of ships were also painted, to offer disguise when the ship was listing heavily (when it takes on water and tilts to one side).ĭazzle has some similarities to another paint scheme, known as 'Western Approaches' which itself is a mark of respect to the sailors who fought and died in the Battle of the Atlantic.Īs a development of earlier Royal Navy camouflages, the scheme was first used on World War Two destroyer HMS Broke. White was usually used for masts because the colour would blend in with the sky in many situations. Tops of gun barrels would be painted in darker shades than the bottoms. Funnels and gun turrets positioned near each other would be painted in contrast to make it difficult to recognise a ship by its profile.
