Navies aren’t the only ones revisiting dazzle-type camouflage paint schemes. This is the Captain Paul Watson Foundation’s “John Paul de Joria II” (ex-Vigilant) at COVE in Dartmouth a week or so ago. “Neptune’s Navy” is written on the port bridge wing.
According to Wikipedia, at least two vessels have taken this name - this, formerly the Scottish Fishery Protection Agency's Vigilant, is the second.
In Halifax alone, there are usually two other examples of this type of camouflage - HMC Ships Sackville (replicating her Second World War paint scheme) and Moncton (wearing a replica paint scheme).
The last Flower-class corvette, HMCS Sackville, is a museum ship in Halifax, NS. |
