Working on the IJN Zuikaku got me thinking about this.
Why the Japanese decided to use the green camo on there ships.

I can understand American navel camo blending in with the ocean or when its dark but what was the Japanese camo supposed to do? And how effective was it?

Good question. I was wondering that myself.
