In this video Ship Superintendent Tim NesSmith touches on the history of Dazzle camouflage and it's application to the USS KIDD (DD-661).

USS KIDD is returning to the Dazzle paint scheme she adorned in 1944. It's technically not correct for our 1945 target date of interpretation, but we're using this opportunity as a method of teaching about different camouflage tactics.
