Thank you, Richard and raggs, for your replies.
However, my problem still remains. Dazzle only shows p/s profiles. NHHC shows deck, p/s profiles, bow-to-aft and stern-to-forward views. but only for the other seven Sumner designs. 16D bow-to aft and stern-to-forward views are blank on the camouflage design sheet.
I looked at NHHC 16D for comparable Fletcher and Benson/Gleaves classes, but those are a big leap to Sumner class application. No luck from Friedman's U.S. Destroyers, Sumrall's Sumner-Gearing-Class Destroyers, Adcock's two Squadron/Signal publications, nor Floating Drydock.
It's becoming apparent that the only solution is to comb NavSource photos of the fourteen Sumner class DDs that wore 16D and then to generalize bow-to-aft and stern-to-forward patterns.
By the way, my aim is to capture Allen M. Sumner DD-692 at the Battle of Ormoc Bay 06JAN1945.
