This is a photo of the unprotected cruiser USS Anniston (C-9) (ex- USS Montgomery) wearing a unique form a dazzle camouflage designed by the Chief Painter of the Norfolk Naval Yard, Frank Morris Watson, Jr. ("F.M. Watson") . The camouflage has been referred to as the "Watson-Norfolk Camouflage Scheme" and "Watson System Camouflage," and was only applied to two ships on an experimental basis, the photographed (and aforementioned) Anniston and Virginia-class battleship USS Nebraska (BB-14). USS Anniston featured a series of semi-circular rainbow-patterns on her starboard side and intersecting angular patterns on the port side. For more on F.M. Watson and USS Anniston, see: camoupedia.blogspot.com/2016/06/watson-norfolk-camouflage... camoupedia.blogspot.com/2018/03/camoufleur-fm-watson-has-... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Montgomery_(C-9) www.navsource.org/archives/04/c9/c9.htm

BB=32, one of the many ships that took part in the Vera Cruz operations we have seen recently here. The markings on her stern seem to indicate she is under construction still in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, 1912. www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-w/bb32.htm
