I cannot see the outline of the ship’s waterline painted on the flight deck, no one else can either.

Brian Baird (above):
To be honest, I cannot see the outline painted on the deck in this image either – and I wrote the captions! The system requires that photos grouped into a series have identical captions so all three images in this series have the same caption that calls attention to the outline, even though that outline is not well seen in one of them. The painted outline is seen best in Photo 3 of 3 at https://ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=24329.
