Camouflage paint on ships during war, particularly in World War I and II, was used to confuse and mislead enemy forces. The patterns, often featuring bold colors and geometric shapes, aimed to disrupt the ship's outline and make it harder to target from a distance. This technique, known as "dazzle camouflage," did not hide the ship but rather altered its perceived shape and speed, complicating the enemy's aim. The use of camouflage paint highlighted the importance of psychological tactics in naval warfare.
