Anti-Sub Ship surreal cammo
I've searched in google and altavista for it and found nothing on it. All I know is that it was mostly red and black and used to make the ships harder to hit by a sub and was first used in WWI and was also used durring WWII.
i think you might be referring to "dazzle painting"?
jagged, random colors were painted on ships, not to make them hard to see, but to make it difficult to tell the size, shape and heading of the ship
as a defense against u-boats

It was used on some ships all through WWII. Here is the fine and bestest Cruiser of the war in 1944, she was lunched in 1944 also.
Of course I am a bit biased on the bestest part, although she was impressive.
USS Alaska CB1
Her speed and with her sister the USS Guam they ran anti-shipping raids in the China Sea. 12 inch high velocity guns she was quiet impressive.
But we are talking about cammo.
