I found the attached at NARA II a couple of weeks ago. It was in a folder labeled "Painting - Moravian Paint Test - USS Milwauke." I did some research and came up with:

"Several commercial brands of plastic paint have been investigated by the Navy during the past 50 years. Outstanding in the early tests were the Moravian paints manufactured by Veneziani of Trieste. A green anti-fouling paint furnished by this firm passed Navy tests so satisfactorily that in 1902 several battleships and cruisers were coated with it. These applications proved very satisfactory, but because of pressure against use of foreign paints and difficulties in procurement, their use was discontinued.

Mare Island Navy Yard was asked to carry on further investigations, and in 1901 reported that "all Chemical Warfare Service paints were quite eflfective against fouling and furnished good protective films." In 1932, the Navy bought sufficient Moravian paint to coat twice the bottoms of one destroyer and two cruisers, and after exhaustive tests, the experts agreed that Moravian was more effective than Navy Standard against fouling. The Navy then started out to find a formula that would be equal to or better than Moravian. "

USS Milwaukee (CL 5) Off Lewes, Delaware, on 16 March 1949, just after she was returned to the U.S. Navy by the Soviet Union. She had served as the Soviet Navy ship Murmansk since April 1944. By the time this photograph was taken, Milwaukee had been repainted to remove the Soviet-style white waterline stripe.
