The photo shows either the Norwegian 'Skjold' or her sister ship 'Skud' in Plymouth Sound in June 2016.
I believe their camouflage was intended to help in coastal waters, but they were so noisey no amount of camouflage could mask that!

Modern warships with camouflage patterns are not common.
I built some of them, here e.g. HMS Tyne (River class OPV, Batch 1):
HMS Tyne (1/700, EVModel)
HMS Tyne , USS Freedom , Al Hani (Libya) and Almirante Lynch (Chile):
There are/were also some other ships with camouflage pattern post WW2, e.g. HMCS Regina (FFH-334) and HMCS Moncton (MM 708), the British River class OPV Batch 2, USS Forth Worth , US patrol crafts of the Cyclon class, at least one Asheville class gunboat in Vietnam, many Chilean ships in 1978, some more Libyan ships in the 1980s, many Swedish and Finnish ships...
Do you remember any additional ones?
