EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Royal Navy submarine E12, adorned with experimental zebra stripe camouflage, making its way through the waters towards the end of the First World War. Circa 1918, the submarine, a part of the British naval forces, was undergoing trials to test the effectiveness of the unusual camouflage pattern. The zebra stripes, designed to break up the submarine's outline and make it less visible to enemy ships, were an innovative attempt to enhance the submarine's stealth capabilities during the wartime era. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of naval warfare and the technological advancements that shaped the outcome of the Great War. With the backdrop of the churning waves and the ominous presence of the submarine, this photograph transports us back in time, providing a captivating insight into the past.
