      I noticed the problem last night and took care of it, but it's one of those that needs 24-48 hours to reflect on the internet :P

      I don't have a hard fast list of ships, but once the site's back up go tohttp://www.researcheratlarge.com/Ships/S19-7/index.html and check out the 1945 year... there's a bit about the shift. The color change was ordered in Late February (a document referenced indicates that production might have started in November of 1944 but I don't have a copy of that document yet so I'm not entirely sure. Documents posted there dated January '45 indicate they were still ordering Navy Blue) and my guess is that the closer to the states a ship was the more likely it was to happen earlier.

      So if the cruisers in question went into overhaul at Mare Island on March 1 it's pretty likely they were neutral, but if they repainted out at Ulithi it's more likely they were in Navy Blue. I don't have anything more firm than that at this time.
