why don't ships at sea simply disguise themselves as a rock or shrubbery?

Or as a duck if they need to move.

BTW sweden have some cool ship disguises.

Edit: went looking for it, couldn't even find a photo.

Yeah, that's how good they are.

Found an old, not very effective but fun one:

The Swedish Navy's ships do have some bonkers designs, like massive barcodes printed on the side. It's so that when they get back to port they can scan the navy in.

I just searched for some more info on this and was definitely surprised by the design. That's pretty neat. 😆

Good idea, you should sketch it up in paint and post it to NCD
