Camouflage of USS Corry DD-463 at Normandy in June 44

[AlainFR]

Hello everybody,

Yes, out of curiosity I would like to know what camouflage the USS Corry wore when it was sunk of Utah Beach on June 6, 44.
In March 44 he had this camouflage (measure 22? ) after sunk a German submarine.



Three months later the same scheme or then another?

When we look at this photo taken from a distance during its shipwreck, photo of very poor quality certainly, I do not quite understand what the clear strips in front?



I heard about this ship when visiting the Utah Beach Museum during the D-Day festivities.
Does anyone have an answer?

Thank in advance

Alain

USS CORRY (DD-463) was painted in Ms 22 when lost. I have another image after the first referenced image, dated 18 April 1944, and she was still in Ms 22. I can't explain what the referenced image shows. The image is too far distant and with heavy shadows in play.

Hello Rick

Many thanks for your answer!
It does seem logical to me.
Between March and the D-Day in June, the priority was not to repaint the ship, I suppose!
