215k | USS Escatawpa (AOG-27) under way in the vicinity of Hampton Roads, VA., 3 October 1944. Photographed from an aircraft based at
NAS Norfolk, VA. Escatawpa's camouflage is Measure 32, Design 8AO. From this angle the camouflage pattern on the bow definitely confuses the apparent
direction and size of the ship.
