Camouflage for WW2 ships.

As my Midway project winds down I am looking to taking on the USS Hoel DD 533. It served in th pacific and was eventually sunk at battle of Samar Island. It was using a camouflage. Are there patterns to go by? Should I stencil it? How does everyone go about doing this. Seems very complicated. Thank Tom

Couple of pics I found, shouldn't be to difficult to mask or freehand if your brush painting.

Dosnt matter if it ain't spot on as long as you enjoy giving it a go that's the main thing .
