The panel notes that Warspite's wartime camouflage had practical value when identification depended heavily on human vision. Early machine-recognition systems may create a renewed opportunity for disruptive patterns. Historical paint schemes will not automatically defeat modern sensors. Recognition algorithms can still have exploitable visual assumptions. This moment links a familiar naval practice with the iterative contest between new sensors and new forms of deception.

Why visual camouflage may matter again against machine recognition
A brief aside connects the historical success of disruptive paint schemes with a future period in which image-recognition systems may still be deceived.
