Why do Australian seamen...
...wear jungle-camouflage clothing on warships?
It's true - they do it. Just seen it on NatGeo Any answers? |

Saw one of HM Ships tied up in London and the gangplank guard were wearing woodland green cam. Looked bloody awful.

Vegetation-camouflage at sea appears strange to me, but I am a land person
Why do they want to look like vegetables when at sea? |

For safety reasons. Should they fall into the water they won't get eaten by sharks because they look like a bit of salad and sharks don't like salads.
