Modern Use
Museum ships HMS Belfast, moored in the River Thames in London, United Kingdom, HMCS Sackville, moored in Halifax Harbour in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and USS North Carolina, moored in Wilmington, North Carolina, United States, are painted in the dazzle camouflage they used during the Second World War.
Dazzle makeup, or "CV dazzle" (computer vision dazzle), to hamper facial recognition software, was inspired by dazzle camouflage. It has been shown to be somewhat successful at defeating face detection software in common use, including that employed by Facebook.

Famous quotes containing the word modern:
“The United States is the only great nation whose government is operated without a budget. The fact is to be the more striking when it is considered that budgets and budget procedures are the outgrowth of democratic doctrines and have an important part in developing the modern constitutional rights.... The constitutional purpose of a budget is to make government responsive to public opinion and responsible for its acts.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Many said selfishness was the flaw of our modern age; but then self-conceit emerged from a corner of the deepest hell to join selfishness.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
