Louisville (CA-28)
Drawing

A drawing for Design 6D for the heavy cruiser USS Louisville (CA-28) has yet to be found. However, it was probably drawn between October and December 1943, since Louisville was photographed wearing 33/6D in early January 1944. The vertical colors were probably navy blue (5-N), haze gray (5-H) and pale gray (5-P).

Original drawing source: NARA 80-G-000000.
