MODERATORS
It was effective in distorting range measurements. Which is useful if you don't like being shot at.
Modern naval vessels are likely to use sonar/radar/laser rather than optical for range estimates.
If, however, you do like being shot at, this can be facilitated by placing easily identifiable markers at the bow and stern and writing the distance between those markers in large leters on the sides of the ship.
