Dear Mr Smith,
What would the reproduction fee be if you already have the photo on file?


If you mean hardcopy it depends on several things. Size and end use. Since I normally work in electronic format I get my prints done at a local photo lab, let me know the size and I'll check the cost. Personal use only is an additional $5 fee, publication in any medium is $20. Shipping is at cost in a tyvek photomailer.

I checked and the only image I have captioned Plunkett is a typical 80G error and is actually Hobson.

A black and white photo. Colors taken from official documents dated about march/april 1942. See description in articles, re Development of Naval Camouflage by Raven, available on the ship camouflage web site.
Photo taken around febuary/march 1942. Wish that I could be more exact. Just the one photo (port bow)showing this scheme. So there would be no other photos labelled Plunkett in the surrounding sequence of numbers. Will be in the G series.
Photo is not of high quality but shows clearly the experimental nature of the camouflage.
If anybody finds it, I am certain that everybody would like to see it.
It was only when I realised that I had lost my copy, would others be interested in it. Otherwise I would have mentioned it long ago and given the number.

I used to have a copy of a photo of the Plunkett (port bow view) taken in the first weeks of 1942 showing the ship in her experimental four color camouflage of Pink, mauve, blue and white. I lost this photo some time ago, does anybody know the NA number so that I can order a replacement?
Thank you.
