Talk:USS Punishment

There's a likelihood that the USS Punishment may have been painted green-gray overall. I got that impression from page 300 of the hard cover edition of " Walk in Hell ". On the sixth paragraph, Turtledove writes that while George Enos was cleaning one of the ship's machine guns, he began to fondle the protective water jacket while thinking of his wife, Sylvia. To quote "He jerked his hand away from the green-gray painted iron as if it had become red-hot....". To me, it wouldn't make any sense that  only the machine gun shields were painted green-gray while the rest of the ship would have been painted black or grey, like previous U.S. riverine naval craft. Also, during the Vietnam War, the U.S. Brown Water Navy boats, which more than often supported the ground troops, were painted an overall olive drab. What does everyone else think about this?
