I have no idea if that paint job really hides that ship but it sure is interesting. It does break up the outline making it difficult to tell what type ship it is.

That type of camouflage isn't trying to keep the ship from being seen. It is trying to screw with the optical range finding and speed prediction. It doesn't help you to see the ship if you can't tell whether it is at 8000 yards or 6000 yards and whether it is headed towards or away from you.
Once radar was common the ships went back to haze gray again.

Did they christen that ship migraine Fortification?
