Ted,

I'll have to send Gene's 118 photo to Dick, so he can post it...

Thanks to Gene's website, and thanks to Dick for posting this.

Its really a photo of torpedomen checking the pressure on a tube on a boat next to the 118, but shows an interesting paint job on the 118 -- a darker-painted topside demarcation line over a lighter-painted lower portion.

Wonder what colors they were -- dark(er) gray over light(er) gray?

Could just be light and shadow, I suppose...

Don't think its light or shadow, Will...there's a definite, painted line along the top edges of the charthouse and the bulkhead aft of the gun turret...

Drew;
The top of the cabin and dayroom are probably the same color as the deck.
Take care
