--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
British sailors would intentionally paint their ships with zebra-like stripes in an attempt to fool the Nazi army. You see, when German torpedoes destroyed British ships, they discovered that the striped pattern confused enemy spotters. The design made it nearly impossible to judge the distance or speed of the vessel, and as a result, German gunners couldn't aim accurately and often missed, allowing British ships to escape.
