<ul><li><b>Scope and content:</b>  Original Caption: A fleet of model ships for study of camouflage.  Depicts the camouflage department of U.S. Navy which was inaugurated at beginning of war in which all ships except battleships were camouflaged.  The model room contains models of every description, transports, submarine chasers, colliers and merchant ships, all bearing some type of camouflage.  The idea is to obtain a camouflage which would show up to best advantage on the high seas.</li></ul>
