However, a "new" boat gets what is available at the time, hence the MS32 on the New Construction Gato start in January 1943. The Balao is done differently, currently as an experiment, a little later in the year.

i just finished re-reading RSRD and Ned Beach references a paint job for his boat either very late 1942 or early 1943.
