HMAS Warramunga has been finished in the new darker paint scheme at the completion of her upgrade.
Here she is next to HMAS Parramatta which is about to enter refit to receive her phased array radar system and other improvements, plus her new color scheme, which isn't an improvement.
Vale Storm Grey, you'll be missed

Re: First Haze Grey RAN warship painted
Mike,
Found these on another website. Looks like the minehunters might have got there first with RAN Haze Grey. It is snealking up on us.

Re: First Haze Grey RAN warship painted
I thought Russ said that this wasn't going ahead and the RAN was keeping Storm Grey?
So is the whole fleet going sepo or just part of it?
Cheers

Re: First Haze Grey RAN warship painted
All eventually. The Kiwis presumably becuase it is cheaper to buy paint from Oz than continue with their current colour.

Re: First Haze Grey RAN warship painted
John last month when we had the AWD sail day one of the guys we were talking to had said that Ship 1(Hobart) would be launched in storm grey on the 19th of May and at a later date would be taken out of the water and painted in her new colours! Well she is being launched on the 23rd of May and I find it hard to believe that Ship 1 would change as Hobart has her pendant numbers on and markings and would be a complete waste of money to change now! Brisbane has be done in storm grey and all her bits and pieces are in storm grey at the moment, but she is still some time away from being finished so you never know. Scott

Re: First Haze Grey RAN warship painted
Thanks for the info Scott.
Have to say - its a Government operation - so lest we be surprised at such waste. Sometimes I think the whole purpose of Government is to provide a one word definition for stupidity.

Re: First Haze Grey RAN warship painted
It won't be a government action but a Navy one, presumably by the same colour blind half wit who decided on haze grey.
