    The document discusses lighting standards and designs that have been standardized by the U.S. Navy Bureau of Ships. It shows examples of six different lighting fixtures: an overhead luminaire, an adjustable chart table luminaire, a fluorescent luminaire, an emergency hand lantern, a blackout shield with red lens, and a steamtight globe. It notes that naval vessels prioritize combat effectiveness over other factors like lighting, which are designed with minimum weight and space while achieving the necessary effectiveness. Standardized designs are used throughout the Navy to simplify logistics. It also mentions that naval vessels sometimes need means to limit visibility during the day with camouflage and at night by restricting the brightness and color of lights used

    13-28 I E S LIGHTING HANDBOOK

    FIG. 13-22. A few of the lighting equipment designs standardized by the Bureau
    of Ships, U.S. Navy Department: a. louvered, industrial-type luminaire for over-
    head mounting, b. Adjustable chart-table luminaire for bulkhead mounting, c. Flu-
    orescent-lamp luminaire with plastic diffusing enclosure, d. Relay-operated, battery-
    powered emergency hand-lantern, e. Blackout shield with red lens. f. Steamtight
    globe for bulkhead mounting.
    Naval vessels are designed for specific military purposes which may
    place such a high priority on combative effectiveness measured in fire
    power, stability, and so forth that other factors such as lighting, though
    of recognized importance, are purposely designed for minimum weight
    and space with required effectiveness fixed at a minimum. To simplify
    naval logistics, designs are standardized throughout the service. (See
    Fig. 13-22.)
    As in the case of military aircraft, it often is necessary to provide means
    for limiting the visibility of a ship during the day by means of camouflage,
    and at night by limiting the permissible brightness and color of its lights.
