Destroyers

USS Boyd (DD-544) is shown on March 19, 1944 outside of Mare Island. The lightest color appears a little dark in this photo, and there is good contrast with the white hull number. So most likely the light color is ocean gray, which would be Measure 31.

USS Boyd (DD-544) at Mare Island on March 15, 1944. The circles mark changes made during refit. The camouflage pattern is clearly 10D. Because of the sun the lightest color on the turrets is almost light gray, but the hull is darker and shows contrast with the white hull number, so overall this seems to still be ocean gray.

Boyd again in late 1944, but before November, 28, when this photo was received in Washington. Boyd is refueling from and sending personnel over to USS Birmingham (CL-62). The light color seems to still be ocean gray.
