December 7, 1941
Few other ships have engendered the controversy that surrounds Arizona's colour at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour, with heated words, threats and imprecations being flung about nearly as thick and fast as Japanese bombs and torpedoes that fateful morning. We're going to stand well clear, and simply offer the following:
If you are in the Gray Camp;
For those who believe that USS Arizona had repainted into Measure 11—or some variant thereof—or perhaps even Measure 2A, here are the colours you'll need:
Measure 11 Variant
All vertical surfaces from top of boot-topping to the level of the top of the funnel—5-S Sea Blue (US 07);
All vertical surfaces above the top of the funnel—5-L Light Gray (US 03);
All steel decks and horizontal surfaces—5-D Dark Gray (US 04)*;
All wood decks—Teak (C 01). *On the other hand, there are those who claim that Arizona had painted her wood decks in 20-B Deck Blue (Colourcoats US
10) by the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor. If this is the case, then the steel decks & horizontals would also have been in 20-B. You're on your own here!
Boot-topping—Black (C 02);
Underwater hull—Norfolk 65-A Antifouling Red (US 14);
Roofs of turrets 1, 2 and 4—Insignia Red (ACUS 26).
OS2U Kingfisher aircraft—Non-specular Blue-Gray (ACUS 06) over Non-specular Light Gray (ACUS 05).
Measure 2A
Just to keep the waters muddied, there are claims that some of the Battle Line—perhaps including Arizona—had repainted into Measure 2A.
All vertical surfaces from the top of boot-topping waterline up to the line of the main deck—5-D Dark Gray (US 04);
All vertical surfaces from the line of the main deck up to the level of the top of the funnel—5-O Ocean Gray (US 06);
All vertical surfaces above the top of the funnel including masts, topmasts, and yards—5-L Light Gray (US 03);
Decks and horizontal surfaces, including those laid with wood—5-D Dark Gray (US 04);
Boot-topping—Black ( C 02);
Underwater hull—Norfolk 65-A Antifouling Red (US 14);
Roofs of turrets 1, 2 and 4—Insignia Red ( ACUS 26).
OS2U Kingfisher aircraft—Non-specular Blue-Gray (ACUS 06) over Non-specular Light Gray (ACUS 05).
If you are in the Blue Camp,
USS Arizona is known to have painted into Measure 1 in mid-1941. If you are among those who believe that she did not repaint after her collision with USS Oklahoma in October 1941 and was still in Measure 1 at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, these are the colours you need:
All vertical surfaces between the top of the boot-topping and the top of the funnel, and all steel decks & steel horizontals—5-D Dark Gray (US 02);
All vertical surfaces above the top of the funnel—5-L Light Gray (US 03);
Wood decks—Teak (C 01)*;
Boot-topping—Black (C 02);
Underwater Hull—Norfolk 65-A Antifouling Red (US 14);
Roofs of Turrets 1, 2 & 4—Insignia Red (ACUS 26).
OS2U Kingfisher aircraft--Non-specular Blue-Gray (ACUS 06) over Non-specular Light Gray (ACUS 05).
*Some believe that Arizona's wood decks were painted. If so, and if they followed the practice applied to USS Texas in her application of Measure 2A, the wood decks would have been painted 5-D Dark Gray.
Finally, bear in mind that there is some evidence that Arizona may have been in the midst of a repaint at the time of the attack, and therefore may have been wearing some of both of the above schemes!
