  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

  A history of the BORDA from clydesite: www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=15354

  I think the BORDA was at Wharf 10 (Tysers) at Millers Point (named Walsh Bay later). Compare with this from the other side of the warehouse - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=190045

  This is a photo of RMS Olympic (HMT Olympic), sister-ship of the ill-fated Titanic and Brittanic, in the dazzle camouflage scheme she wore during the First World War.
