Nice idea. I hope they use the original scheme and not some ad hoc 'dazzle' that someone dreams up from nowhere - a bit like the Sea Shepherd ship - not dazzle but a crude 'splinter' scheme.
My father served a couple of years during the early 1960s on HMS Chrysanthemum (an Anchusa type Q-ship sloop)when it was moored on the Thames Embankment as the London Reserve HQ, and I remember going to visit him on a few occasions, when I wer' a young lad. I recently found an image of Chrysanthemum in her beautiful WW1 dazzle and he was really surprised and pleased to see this.
