MS Blue represents the dark blue deck stain used on U.S. Navy carriers during World War II. Exposure to sunlight, salt water, weather, and heavy flight-deck use caused the stain to fade over time, producing lighter blue-grey tones.
 
Historical Information
 
The Casablanca class comprised 50 escort aircraft carriers built for the U.S. Navy during World War II, making it the largest class of aircraft carriers ever constructed. These compact, mass-produced carriers supplied essential air power for amphibious operations, convoy protection, anti-submarine patrols, and aircraft transport.
 
Casablanca-class carriers typically operated an air group of about 27 aircraft, commonly a combination of FM-2 Wildcat fighters and TBM Avenger torpedo bombers.
