Military camouflage 军事伪装 That old razzle dazzle 旧式迷魂战术 How to confuse the enemy about how quickly youare travelling 如何让敌方无法判断己方的前行速度 Go-faster stripes? 船身高速伪装线? IN THE second world war, many Allied ships were painted with dark and light stripes,andother contrasting shapes, making them look a bit like zebra. 二战期间，许多盟军军舰船身都被喷涂了黑白条纹及其它迷彩图案，这让它们看上去有些象斑马。 The idea was to distort an enemysubmarine commander s perception of the ship s size, shape, range, heading and speed,so as to make it harder to hit with the non-homing torpedoes of the period. 这样做的目的是为了迷惑敌军潜水艇指挥官，使其无法判断盟军船舰的尺寸，形状，距离，航向和速度。由于当时的鱼雷还不具备制导系统，因此想要击中目标愈加困难。 These had to be pointed not at the target directly but, rather, at the place where thecommander thought the target would be when the torpedo arrived. 因此敌军指挥官不再让鱼雷直接对准目标发射，而是将它们发射到他认为盟军军舰可能会驶向的位置。 |
