EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the British Monmouth class cruiser, HMS Cornwall, during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Dated between 1917 and 1918, the image showcases the cruiser's distinctive camouflage paint scheme, a crucial innovation employed by the Royal Navy to confuse and deter enemy submarines and aircraft. The Monmouth class cruisers, named after the English county of Monmouthshire, were a significant addition to the British naval fleet. Armed with a main battery of twelve 6-inch guns and capable of reaching speeds of up to 27 knots, these armoured cruisers were formidable vessels. In this image, the funnels of HMS Cornwall are adorned with an intricate camouflage pattern, known as 'razzle dazzle' or 'dazzle painting.' The design, which features irregular stripes and geometric shapes, was intended to make it difficult for the enemy to estimate the ship's size, speed, and heading. The camouflage was applied to a growing number of British warships during the latter stages of the war, as the threat from U-boats and air raids intensified. This historical photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the wartime era, providing a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the British Navy during the First World War.
