From the transcript
Have you ever seen this mind-blowing camouflage that is used by World War I warship? Well, in today's short, The World of Dazzle Camouflage, a unique technique that turned warships into floating works of art. Dazzle Camouflage, also known as Razzle Dazzle, was invented by British artist Norman Wilkinson during World War I.
Unlike traditional camouflage, which aims to blend things in with their surroundings, Dazzle Camouflage was designed to confuse the enemy by using bold, contrasting patterns and colours. The idea behind these striking designs was to make it difficult for enemy submarines to accurately estimate a ship's range, speed and heading.
This was particularly important during World War I when submarines relied on visual observations to calculate torpedo firing.
