... and finally, CL-54 in October 1944 with Measure 32/22D camouflage. Interestingly the camouflage design sheets for CL-54 specify the lighter Measure 33 (light pattern) colors, but from photos it's very clear that the yard painted CL-54 in Measure 32 colors (dull black, ocean grey, and light grey).

This completes the evolutions for the original CL-51 class.

Isn't that the camo the Atlanta has in WoWS?

Thanks all.
Yep, though the Atlanta itself never had this camouflage scheme. The ship modeled in WOWS is the Atlanta roughly at the time of her loss (November 1942) - the correct scheme for this time period on CL-51 would have been the "splotches" of modified Measure 12 on the superstructure and the all-over Navy Blue of Measure 21 on the hull. The ships of TF 17 were painting into Measure 21 in late 1942 but the tempo of operations in the early Solomons campaigns was such that CL-51 was never fully repainted before it was sunk.

The Measure 32/22D scheme was worn by CL-54 San Juan and CL-97 Flint. Interestingly the WOWS Flint model does not come with Measure 32 camouflage but rather something WG invented.
I will come back to those after I work on something else.
