Some war ships had "dazzle" paint schemes which were meant to make it harder for gun aimers to calculate the distance and exact shape of the ship. I think the wave looks really good anyway.

It's a variation on the mickey mouse scheme as detailed in MTP46.

Steve Guthrie outlined things nicely by putting the guide online some years back.

I noticed over years of searching through photos at the Public Archives that many Canadian vehicles had this soft edge sprayed scheme. Liked it enough to put it on my truck. Not happy with the black paint finish though---it'll need some rework in the spring.

Thanks
Don
