Drawing of Ward circa 1919. At this point she still had the open bridge and deck mounted #4 gun. Most of the time the framing around the bridge was covered with canvas sheets as shown in the sectional study. |

Camouflage design sheet for Ward's starboard side. This was Camouflage Measure 31, design sheet 12T. The colors consisted of 5-OG Ocean Green, 5-NG Navy Green, and black for vertical surfaces (bulkheads) and horizontals (decks). As of yet I've found no concrete evidence that Ward was painted in these colors, but the pattern matches. |

Ward's port side appears to be in a different pattern than 12T, but we are including it here for reference. |
