US Navy uniforms include uniforms of clothing, daily service uniforms, work uniforms, and uniforms for special situations, which vary throughout the history of the navy. For simplicity in this article, Officers refers to both assigned officers and dispatchers.

Shirt uniform
The United States Navy has three categories of clothing uniforms, from at least to the most formal: clothing, clothing, and dinner.
Service dress
Office uniforms are worn for official functions that do not go up to full dress or dinner rates. They are also commonly worn while traveling in official capacity, or when reporting to orders. Civil equivalent is a business suit. They are seasonal, with white uniforms worn in summer and blue in winter. Blue Dress Service can be worn year-round only for travel. The ribbon is worn over the left breast pocket in all variations of service uniform. All-Weather Coat, Overcoat or Reefer can be worn with clothes service uniforms in cold weather or bad weather.

Blue Fashion Service
The Blue Dress Service uniform (SDB) consists of a suit and navy blue shorts (or an optional skirt for women) that is almost black, a white shirt, and a four-hand tie for a man or neck tab for women. The material is generally wool or wool mix, depending on the vendor. The man's jacket has double breasted with six gold-colored buttons, and a woman's jacket has a row of four gold-colored buttons. Badge ratings are golden arm lines for assigned officers, while rating badges and service lines are worn on the left arm by Chief Petty Officers (CPOs). The specified head cover is a white combination cap, although a navy blue garrison hat is optional unless otherwise stated by the decisive authority in some situations when the jacket is not worn. Beginning in 2016, the Navy began gradually covering women's combined hats and now set closing similarities to the male version for female officers and CPOs, although previous female versions were allowed to be used until October 2018. Commissioners assigned and donned wearing hat badges shields and American eagles with silver on gold across anchors; CPO uses a dirty single anchor. Chinstrap combination cover is gold for commissioned and the warrant officer, gold narrow for midshipmen, and black for CPO. Women officers and small base officers wear trousers without belts with SDB, although since January 2017, bonded trousers can be used as an alternative.
White Clothing Service
While both styles share the same 100% Polyester CNT fabric (formerly cotton), the uniforms of the White Clothes Uniform are different for male and female variations. Men in white tunics stand tall, with shoulder boards for attendants or metal anchor devices for CPO, white pants, and white shoes. These uniforms are informally called "chokers" because the collars are standing. The material, formerly cotton, is today a polyester woven known as "Certified Navy Twill". Women wear uniforms similar to Blue Service Dresses but with white coats and skirts or trousers. White combination hat is a specified headgear.
The striking difference between a male uniform and a women's uniform is the placement of the female rank of female officer binding on the sleeve (in the same way as the blue uniform) and the placement of the CPO rank symbol (dirty anchors with the ASN monogram and five star "star" ) on the collar of the jacket. However, the Navy has announced a change of women's uniforms to resemble male uniforms, and that female officers and CPOs will start wearing a standing-collared tunic like men in early 2017 and they will completely replace old-style uniforms in January 2020.
Junior enlisted enlist
Service Dress Blues for registered male junior personnel are based on standard Navy jumper in navy blue, colloquially referred to as "crackerjacks" because of the figure in the Navy uniform that adorns the Jack Cracker snack box. They consist of a dark blue wool jumper with three lines of white lines on collars and cuffs. There are two white stars, one in every corner of the collar. Traditional white hat or "Dixie cup" is also worn, as well as black leather shoes. Black silk or synthetic fibers, rolled diagonally, worn around the neck, under the collar, with the tip tied in a square knot in the center of the chest. The trousers for the blue dress uniform were exaggerated as "butt bells". These trousers have a wide fall, opening with thirteen buttons (which, contrary to popular belief, do not represent the original Twelve Nations colonies of the United States). The junior junior enlisted 'Blue Dress Service, introduced in the 1970s, is similar to the CPO/Officer blues service, with the exception that silver-colored keys, not gold, are in jackets. This uniform is being removed and will be replaced by a female-cut variant of "crackerjacks" with a transition beginning in October 2016 and to be completed by January 2020.
Until 2016, Service Dress Whites, for both sexes, consist of straight trousers or straight legs with the front of the fly (or an optional skirt for women), black leather shoes, white jumper with plain naval collar, black scarf worn in the same way such as with Service Dress Blues, and white Dixie cup caps for men and a combination of cover with silver eagle emblem and the letters "USN" for women. The White Jumper Service suit actually comes from the former Undress White, with wide arms without sleeves and no piping. However, starting in October 2015, the White Gown Service Blouse will be changed to show dark blue piping on the sleeves, stars and navy blue cheeks on the naval collar, and the yoke, making it 'photo-negative' of the Blue Jumper Service Dress.
The ribbon is worn with this uniform above the opening of the top left pocket, along with the symbol of war. If this uniform will be designated as the Day Uniform, the Sunday Plan/Week Plan will state "White Dress Service" or "Blue Dress Service." Either Coat or peacoat all weather can be worn with this uniform in cold weather or bad weather. The color of the ratings ranks and registered service line for Blues Clothing Service is gold or red based on US Navy Good Behavior Variations. The colors on Service Dress White are always black.
In May 2012, the Navy announces upcoming changes to Service Dress Blues and Service Dress Whites, adding a side zipper to both blouse uniforms, and the zipper will also be added to the Blue Service Dress pants. Women will no longer wear stylish uniforms and combined officers and coverers, and will wear a variation of women's pieces of jumper-style uniforms with White hats, "dixie cups", such as men. The launch of the new uniform begins in 2016 and will be completed by 2021.
The US Navy announced in 2014 that female seafarers had tested the female version of a male combination. Not long after, it was announced by the US Navy that the combined "bucket-style" cut-up ladies would be completely replaced by newer ones more resembling existing male versions, to maintain a more unisex appearance in all seafarers. The new cover will completely replace the female version for the head of small officers and officials assigned at the end of October 2018; His successor was originally scheduled for late October 2016 but extended two more years. The enlisted women's cover was replaced in October 2016 for white dressing as scheduled, but remains official and mandatory for the uniform blue uniform of four-button service until uniforms are retired at the end of December 2019.
Full dress
Full Dress uniforms are worn for ceremonies such as command change, retirement, commissioning and decommissioning, funerals, weddings, or otherwise exact. The Complete Dress is similar to a Dress Service except that instead of the ribbon, a full size medal is worn over the left breast pocket, with ribbons worn on the opposite side for decoration without the appropriate medal. Swords or sunglasses are authorized to be used by officers and Chief Petty Officers, and may be required for Lt. Commander and above. For the US Navy's Seremonial Guard in Washington, DC, the uniform's uniform (E6 and below) is further modified by wearing a white gun belt, ascot, and aiguilette clothing (the latter two white for winter and navy blue for summer) , and white canvas leggings. Other honor guards are only official leggings and a white gun belt.
Dinner dress
US Navy's dinner dress uniform is the most formal and has the most variety. For attendants, there is a Blue Dinner Dress and a White Dinner Dress, a Blue Jacket Dinner Dress and a White Jacket Dinner Dress, as well as a Formal Dress. Despite formal trousers, women often wear matching color skirts. Blue and White Dinner Dresses are identical to their Dress Service version, but are worn with miniature medals and ribbonless badges. Blue Dinner Dress is also worn with a black butterfly shirt and bow tie. This variant is commonly used by many junior officers and enlisted personnel as a substitute for the more formal Official Jacket Clothing variant that can only be prescribed for Lieutenant Commander and above and optional for Lieutenant and below. Blue Dinner Jacket/White Jacket Uniform featuring a short jacket with three buttons on either side, worn open with black bow tie and belt (women replace neck tab for bow tie). Male officials pointed out the ranking lines on the jacket sleeves for the blue versions and on the shoulder boards for the white version, while female officers only wore sleeves. This uniform is equivalent to a black tie in use.
Formal Apparel Variations are the most formal, and identical to the Blue Dinner Jacket uniform, but worn with white vest with gold buttons on the belt, white bow tie, and pearl buttons and matching pearl matching cuffs.. Although rarely used, men can also replace a tailed suit for a standard dinner jacket with this uniform. The female version is substantially the same as the Blue Jacket Dinner Dress, but it replaces pearl buttons and pearl cufflinks for gold. This uniform is equivalent to a white tie in use. In addition, this uniform is only specified for head and officers.
Headgear is not required for a dinner dress uniform unless the outer jacket is worn.
Those who hold the rank of Lieutenant and below have the option to use the Dinner Dress uniforms when Dinner Dress Jacket is prescribed. The enlisted sailors who became Chief Petty Officers and above were in uniforms similar to the officers, but with the rank and service symbol on the left arm. While registered as First Class Petty Officer and below have Jacket Dinner Dress uniforms similar to officers and leaders, they can also wear their Dinner Clothing uniform, which is a traditional "Sailors" Clothing Uniform, with a miniature medal instead of ribbon.
Maps Uniforms of the United States Navy
Service uniform
Service uniforms are US Navy's daily uniforms, and are in some variations. They are intended for use in an office environment, in positions that interact with the public, and in viewing situations. Skirts are allowed for women in all service uniforms.
Clerk and small head officer
Khaki Service
The Navy first authorized the khaki uniform in 1913 as a practical outfit for early naval aviators; they were given permission to wear a Marine Corps uniform with a naval badge, while flying or working on a plane. Khaki authorized a submarine in 1931 and as a work uniform on all ships ten years later.
Khaki Uniform uniforms are currently reserved for assigned officers (values ​​of O-1 to O-10), warrant officers (current grade W-2 to W-5, W-1 are not used) and small head officers (class E) -7 to E-9). This is a button-up shirt and khaki trousers, worn with a gold belt buckle. This shirt has two front pockets and a pointed collar. The ribbon is worn over the left shirt pocket, with the symbol of war on it. A nametag can be worn over the right pocket, and a ratings badge is worn on the collar. The rules for the bands state the top three awards, or all the ribbons can be worn at once. There are two types of headgear being passed: the khaki combination cap is standard, but the khaki garrison cover is also official. Currently oxford black and brown shoes are official for all officers and CPO. However, tradition and social pressure tend to limit the use of brown shoes to members of the aviation community. Women are authorized to wear the same blouse with the junior veteran seaman.
Summer White Service
Uniforms of the White Summer Uniform (formerly known as Tropical White Long, nicknamed "milkman" and "Good Humor") consisted of short-sleeved white short-sleeved button-up shirts, white trousers and belts, and white shoes. Official headwear is a combination cap. Officers wear shoulder boards in this uniform, while heads wear metal collar badges. Women's shirts for all ranks have shoulder straps, but do not carry anything except for shoulder boards worn by officers. Like Service Khakis, Summer Whites are available in several materials (poly/cotton and Certified Navy Twill). When assigned as a Day Uniform, the Day/Plan Plan of the week will state "White Summer." Whether All-Weather Coat, Blue jacket, or Peacoat can be worn with this uniform. Although after being officially registered for junior, it is now restricted to officers and heads. Members of E-6 and below previously wore a Short-Sleeve White short uniform with level badges on the left arm, but the uniform was stopped by the Navy in December 2010.
Junior registered
The US Navy conducted a thorough review of each uniform from 2004 to 2007, with the intent of replacing different work uniforms for all hands and seasonal service uniforms with one-year service uniforms for E-1 to E-6 personnel. Thus, the Navy Service Uniform has replaced the Blue Winter and Summer White Uniform Uniforms (both discussed below), which were removed on December 31, 2010 when the launch of the New Service Serial was completed. Registered personnel now have a single Service Uniform. The Junior Navy ROTC Unit also received this new uniform, where, unlike in the United States Navy, the uniforms were worn by both cadets and enlisted cadets.
Navy Uniform Uniforms are year-round service uniforms to hold classroom and office everyday such as where service uniforms are usually worn. It consists of a short-sleeved khaki shirt for men and a khaki weskit-style blouse for women, made from washing and wearing 75% polyester, 25% wool mix, with permanent military folds, black trousers for men with trousers without belts for women and skirts with no optional belts, and a black unisex garrison hat. The anodized-metal silver rating badge is worn on a collar/blouse collar. Service uniforms also include a casual black Eisenhower-style jacket with collar and knitting marks, where small officers wear high-grade badges, anodized-metal silver metal. Those entitled to wear gold chevrons continue to wear gold chevron on a large metal level badge on the jacket.
Work uniform
Work uniforms are described by the navy as clothes when other uniforms may become dirty or inappropriate for the task at hand. These are used in the sea and in industrial environments on land. In July 2010, the Navy Work Uniform and the clothes became the only official work uniform.
Navy Uniform (NWU) is a utility uniform with many pockets on shirts and trousers. Three uniform versions exist, each with a multi-color digital camouflage printing pattern similar to that introduced by other services. Type I is predominantly blue with some gray for the majority of seafarers. It was originally developed for ship use, but proved unsuitable for ship environments and will be discontinued by 2019. Type II is a desert digital pattern currently limited to SEALs and other seafarers such as Seabees assigned to Naval Special Warfare Units while in desert environments. Type III is a digital pattern of forests for seafarers in coastal orders and river units. The camouflage pattern is similar to the MARPAT Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform worn by the US Marines.
The colors of NWU Type I, according to the US Navy, are meant to reflect the naval heritage and connections to cross-sea operations, while hiding clothing and stains, something that can not be avoided with the utilities and khakis used before. The colors were chosen to match the most frequently used paint colors on the vessel, extending uniform life at long spread where uniforms often come into contact with freshly painted surfaces. An anchor, the USS Constitution , and the eagle emblem (ACE) are embroidered in the left breast pocket on all Type I NWUs. Accessories include a blue cotton T-shirt, an eight-point utility cover, and a web belt with a closed buckle. This uniform is worn with a rank badge on both collar points and on the front panel of the utility cover, under the name of the "US NAVY" sewing and tapes, also on a new digital background pattern, has gold colored letters for officers, CPO and midshipmen. All the rankings under CPO wear a name ribbon with silver letters. The NWU Type I has started operations in January 2009.
The Type II and III patterns are generally darker than their respective MARPAT ancestors, modified in different shades of color and vertical pixel patterns-parallel to the forest version (compared to the MARPAT horizontal alignment). An additional pattern is attributed to the fact that the Type I blue and gray patterns are not intended for tactical environments. The rating badge is embroidered and worn on a tab in the center of the torso, the name and filter "AS Navy" embroidered in brown (Type II) or black (Type III). Rejection from the Marines, including objections from Commandant Conway, caused restrictions when wear regulations were released in 2010. Type II is limited to use for Naval Special Warfare personnel, while Type III is limited to Navy land units by the end of 2016. ACE symbols are removed from NWU Type II and NWU Type III.
Uniform mainly consists of a mixture of 50/50 nylon and cotton, which eliminates the need for a "kanji and tap" appearance and reduces the chances of snagging and tearing from sharp objects (thus making the garment last longer). But this blend combines high combustibility with the power to hold the body of a sailor on fire.
In August 2016 the US Navy announced that it was removing the Type I NWU that supports Type III which will replace it entirely on October 1, 2019 to be used as the standard work uniform for all Navy personnel. Type III will begin to be issued for new naval recruits in October 2017. Type II will remain limited for use by Naval Special Warfare sailors while in desert environments. The purpose of the Navy is to develop a single working uniform for use on ships and onshore and by all ranks and tariffs that NWU Types that Type 1 Type I should never meet. As soon as the introduction is found to be unsuitable for wear ships due to lack of flame resistance and hence it is prohibited to be used on board (except when at the port) so as to make it uniform for use while on land only. As a uniform for beach wear only, patterns designed to hide stains on ships are not nearly as effective as concealment as patterns designed to hide people on land, so that III is used on land. The Navy continues to work to develop new ship work uniforms.
While the Navy's uniforms have traditionally featured an indication of rank on the cover, the Type III uniforms have been set to replace the rank badge with the Anchor, Constitution and Eagle badges (ACE) per guide that "8-point closure design utility is scheduled for design changes that will replace the device ranked with the ACE logo "
All weather clothes include unisex pullover sweaters, fur coats, and jackets, all of which are available in matching camouflage patterns. Beginning in 2016 the Navy has planned to also issue a lightweight version of the NWU Type I that is more suitable for a hot environment.
Black safety boots, identical to those worn by US Coast Guard personnel in their Operational Dress Gowns, are worn with NWU Type I. Brown or brown boots can be allowed to be worn with Type II and III, although black is the standard color for sailors who located in adjacent United States. Boots come in two versions: seamless black leather shoes, and no-shine black suede boots for optional clothing when assigned to non-ship orders.
Ship Working Uniform
The US Navy issued a new coverall model for use as a ship's work uniform beginning in early 2014. The new refueling cover (FRV) coverall is used across all ships. It has been widely replaced for the use of polyester cotton cover using inadequate fire protection and NWU Type I for the same reason. All cotton FRVs are dark blue compared with older, lighter clothes. They use rectangular velcro-backed nametags similar to those worn on the crew's clothes, rather than the nametapes of the previous coverall.
The US Fleet Force (FFC) commander continues a multi-phase wear test of an improved fireproof uniform component (IFRV) that serves for ship wear and tear. FFC recently conducted an in-depth focus group with fleet seafarers aimed at refining IFRV coverall design. Coverall IFRV is approved for publication on January 17, 2017. Additional feedback from the focus group, which was then validated by a senior-level working group, resulted in the preliminary design of a more professional two-piece utility vessel uniform that can be used in both marine support and ground operations. The wear test of the two-piece variant prototype is expected to occur in 2017.
Coats
All registered sailors can wear navy blue navy coats with level badges for grade three officers and ride on the left arm, "All Weather Coat" navy blue with level badges worn on the collar, or a Blue Work Uniform Jacket with level badges worn on the collar.
Officers and Heads may be wearing long-term "wool bridal" or knee-length reefer coats, with gold buttons and rating badges worn on epaulettes, or all-weather coats, with rank symbols worn on the shoulders or collars, depending on rank.
All sailors are authorized to wear "Eisenhower" jackets with short-sleeved service uniforms with appropriate rating devices on the shoulders. The "Eisenhower" jacket is waist length, black jacket with knitted cufflinks, and is named for its relationship with the famous general and president. The khakis jacket, previously only uniformed with khakis, has been retired on September 30, 2016.
Naval Aviators, Naval Flight Officers, Naval Flight Surgeons, Naval Aviation Physiologists, and Naval Aircrewmen are authorized to wear goat-leather goat leather coat of G-1, with a war emblem registered on name labels (optional rank) above the left breast pocket , either stitched permanently onto the skin or attached with a hook-and-loop Velcro hook. These jackets were previously decorated with various "mission patches," which indicate the places the wearer has worn. Today, the patch at G-1 is limited to a maximum of three in addition to nametag, the unit symbol on the right breast, the plane type emblem on the right arm and the plane type emblem or the embroidered US flag on the left arm.
Also, the Navy pulls out bad weather jackets or cool weather suitable for the environment, which is generally olive or navy blue. These jackets are considered "Organizational Clothes". They do not belong to sailors, and are not allowed to wear boats except to work around the ship.
Uniform situation specific
Because the Marines do not have medical personnel and clergy, the Navy provides them. Officers and enlisted services include physicians, physician assistants, dentists, nurses, hospital corps, priests, religious program specialists, and Liaison Officers. There are also special ratings that will be attached to Marine commands like the Navy Divers for example. Due to this relationship, these personnel were authorized to wear US Marine Corps (desert/forest) uniforms with the Navy's rank representing the Marine symbol for enlisted personnel (the rank of navy and marine rank is identical) and with the "US Navy" plot replacing the "US Marines" one. They wear an 8-point utility cover, but do not have the Marine Corps emblem. In addition, Navy personnel attached to Marine units may choose to wear a Marine service uniform, with a Navy badge. Those who choose to wear a Marine Corps service uniform must meet Marine Corps maintenance standards and physical appearance, which are tighter than Navy standards. This does not apply to MARPAT uniforms, as this uniform is required for use in the field when it is attached to a Marine unit, regardless of compliance with Sea Corps maintenance standards. Navy personnel are not authorized to wear the Blue Marine Corps Uniform; otherwise the Blue and White Navy uniforms were worn.
Use of other combat utilities
In addition to Marine Corps detachment, combat utilities are also used by Navy SEAL teams, along with SWCC crews who perform secret maritime operations including supporting SEAL and SOF platoons. The Combat Uniform Debt (CUU) is authorized for those who are members of the Disposal Society Armament (EOD) and Fleet Diver. Combat utilities are also authorized for those bound to the Naval Construction Force (NCB) (Seabee), Naval Expedition Group Navy, or Naval Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC). Also, Navy personnel assigned to several joint headquarters units, such as Central Command in Qatar and Iraq, are wearing Desert Utility Uniforms (DUU). Navy Personnel such as Supporting Individuals, Combat Camera Groups, OPS Detainees, and some in the special warfare community have been wearing the Army ACU (Army Combat Uniforms) while working closely with or attached to the Army commandos.
Pilots, Naval Flight Officers, and Naval Aircrewmen are authorized to wear a green or desert flight suit (made of nomex for fire protection), with a coat of arms for officers stitched on the shoulders, and a symbol of the name/war in the left breast pocket. Whether Command/Navy ballcap or Khaki Garrison Cap (for Commissioned Officers and CPOs) is charged with this uniform. The green flight settings are standard outfits; however, the wing commander may authorize desert flight clothing for personnel located in hot climates. In 2012, flying clothes may now be outdated in the same way as the Navy Work Uniforms.
Coverall is authorized to be charged either with all weather coats or utility jackets (Petty Officer only).
Flight deck
Due to the extreme noise of the carrier's flight deck, the personnel handling the plane has a certain color flight deck shirt that with the view describes the person's function and also becomes the basis for calling these personnel "Skittles". Due to unavoidable wear and tear, lubricant stains, and short lifespan, flight deck personnel often wear a variety of trousers (NWU, khaki, etc.) With a deck t-shirt:
- Purple: Fuel Handicap Flight
- Blue: Aircraft Handlers, Tractor Driver, Lift Operator
- Yellow: Flight Deck Officer and Aircraft Director
- Green: Personnel Operations, Catapults and Arms Capture, Maintenance Personnel Land Support Equipment, Squadron Maintenance Personnel, Cargo Handling Personnel, Hook Runner, Registered Landing Signal (LSE), and Photographer
- White: Safety Observer, Final Squadron (F/C) Officer, Landing Officer (LSO), Corpsman, LOX Handler, Air Transfer Officer, Combat Cargo (CC) and visitor
- Red: Arms Handling, EOD Personnel, Crash and Salvage Crews
- Brown: Captain Aircraft (Head and Crew Mechanics)
USS Constitution
The USSÃ, Constitution is the oldest deployment vessel in the US Navy, the only one of the six original remaining US frigates. The Constitution was presented to the public when the ship appeared during the War of 1812, and personnel stationed aboard the Constitution still wore uniforms according to the rules posted in 1813. The uniforms were worn on the show ceremonial ceremonies, like an annual turn-around cruise in Boston every Independence Day.
Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy, in addition to regular Navy uniforms, also wore a traditional 19th-century military parade gown cut, waist-high tunics with stand collars and two rows of gold buttons.
Outdated uniform
Aviation Work
Navy Uniform Regulation Change No. 11 was issued on June 22, 1917, an official naval aviator to wear a summer air service uniform from the Marine Corps of khaki in a similar pattern to the uniform of the uniform and trousers of the police officers. It should be worn with high brown leather boots, only "when on direct duty and active by plane", and may be worn under the same matskin or khaki leather suit colored as a "work clothes" uniform.
Navy fliers normally fly a patrol bomber from a coastal base until the first USS carrier aircraft from the USSÃ, Langley was commissioned on 20 March 1922. Different uniforms that occurred on the face of the letter of the Navigation Bureau October 13, 1922: "Uniform for flight will be equal to other naval officers, removing green and khaki, which may be used until June 1, 1923, but only on air stations. "Khaki flight uniforms of a rather different pattern were restored on 8 April 1925.
Khaki Service Dress
During World War II, a single-breasted thick twill cotton jacket with shoulder board worn with cotton twill pants over a long-sleeved cotton shirt with a black tie as "Khaki Dress Service", which allows cleaning at a laundry facility. Then, through the Vietnam War, trousers and jackets were often made of lightweight wool or mixed woolen fabrics as routine access to dry-cleaning facilities became available. The uniform was dropped in 1975 by the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, to reduce the number of items in the officer's seabag. The revived uniform version was announced in 2006 based on trials. It is allowed to be used by assigned officers and CPO during the summer months and in tropical climates. Some commentators, including the Navy Times, talk about this uniform as a "backward" look.
The uniform reintroduces the khaki service suit worn with black tie and shoulder boards. The specified head cover is a combination cap with khaki cover, or optional khakiun khaki cap. It is intended to provide a more practical alternative to Service Dress Whites and a more formal alternative to Khakis Services. This uniform is often used in public by CNO and further Chairman of the Joint Chief Admiral Mike Mullen; on May 1, 2011, Mullen was seen wearing this uniform in the iconic photo in the White House Situation Room during a Navy SEAL attack on the Osama bin Laden compound. In October 2012, cost considerations led to the cancellation of a uniform full-scale reintroduction, and the uniform derived from the Navy.
Blue Yankee Service Service
Uniform Yankee Blue Dress Uniforms that are rarely worn to replace dark trousers and Black Service Dress Blue shoes with trousers and white shoes from white uniforms. Prescribed to officers.
Blue Winter
Blue Winter uniforms are authorized for all ratings. Due to its almost black color, it is called the uniform "Johnny Cash" (reference to the song/album Man in Black by a singer of the same name) It is a long black sleeve button - shirt and black belt and trousers (an optional skirt for women), with either a combination cover (all E-7 upwards, female E-6s and below) or a white Dixie Cup (male E-6s and below). Garrison hat is an optional secondary head cover, which is allowed for all ratings.
As service uniforms, ribbons and badges were worn, and officers and Chief Petty Officers wore metal collar badges, while registered E-6 and underneath were only wearing a rank badge on the left arm. All men wear a tie, a female tie, with an optional silver clip for Petty Officers First Class and below, another gold clip.
Working Khaki
Khaki Work Uniforms are worn by Petty Officers and Officers, especially aboard or in selected work areas on the ground bases. Originally it was just a uniform Khaki Clothing Service worn without a coat and tie. Similar to, but less formal than, Khaki Service, it consists of a short or long khaki uniform shirt, with a badge of war and a badge (ie pin command, nametags, etc., but no ribbon) worn over the left pocket, and pin-on a metal ranking device located on the collar. It also comes with a set of khakis, a khaki belt with a gold belt buckle, an order or "US Navy" ballcap (optional cap garnunon), and black or brown quarter shoes, black or brown shoes, or black leather shoes. It is often referred to as the "Khaki Wear" uniform, since it is a 100% cotton uniform that can be washed but pressurized, distinguishes it from the Summer Khaki made of Certified Navy Twill (CNT) or a poly-wool blend that is deemed acceptable for use on land and outside the base, but requires dry cleaning. In early January 2011, a working khaki was replaced with a Navy Working Uniform, although the Junior Navy ROTC still uses it.
Aviation Working Green
A winter green uniform that worked for the assigned officer and Chief Petty Officer in the Naval Aviation community was authorized on 7 September 1917 in conjunction with the adoption of the wing of a naval fighter plane. The initial uniform pattern is the same as the uniforms of the uniform and the trousers of the officers. Like a summer khaki uniform, it should be worn with high brown leather shoes. Like the khaki flight uniform, the green uniform was temporarily disposed of during the early years of US aircraft carrier operations from 1922 until the modified design was re-authorized in 1925. The final version, discontinued in January 2011, is somewhat similar to the revived Navy Service. Dress Khaki uniforms in cutting and design and gave birth to additional resemblance to the uniforms of Marine Corps' Clothes "Alpha". It consists of a green woolen coat and green woolen trousers with bronze buttons and a long-sleeved khaki shirt with a black tie. The rank badge consists of black embroidery on the sleeve in a style similar to the golden armbands to the attendant, or the "hash" marks and marks of service to Petty Chief Officer, on the uniform of the Blue Apparition Service uniform. A metal badge is worn simultaneously on the collar of a khaki shirt by a line officer and CPO. For staff corps officers, the rank symbol is used at the right collar point and the staff corps emblem on the left collar point (usually the Medical Corps for Naval Flight Surgeons, etc.) of the shirt. Warfare insignia and, if applicable, Command at Sea and/or Command Ashore insignia, applied on jacket and optional on tshirts. Command nametags are also optional on blouses and/or shirts. Chocolate boots are usually worn, though this switched to black between 1975 and 1986 when brown shoes were stopped. After the restoration of brown shoes in 1986, brown shoes became the most common footwear. Legitimate headgear includes a green combination, or a green garrison cover.
During World War II and the Korean War, ribbons were also authorized in this uniform, making it a de facto service uniform or "uniform of freedom", which was passed to obliterate the base. But in the early 1960s, it became limited to "work uniforms" for use on base or aboard only. It's rarely used, especially because of the cost and 100% wool fabric that usually makes it unsuitable outside the winter; in the work environment where the AWG is authorized, pilots usually find shorts or flight suits that work more comfortably.
The AWG uniform is officially removed on January 1, 2011. The Navy Working Uniform takes its place.
Tropical Uniform
The rarely seen Tropical White uniform (also called Tropical White Short) is similar to the White Summer Service uniform, except for white knee shorts and knee socks worn. It's colloquially known as the "Captain Steubing" uniform, after the characters on The Love Boat TV show. Very rarely used, though permitted with this uniform, is a pith helmet, with the Navy emblem in front, above the edges.
Tropical work uniforms exist, but variations on work uniforms and utility uniforms. Knee shorts and black knee socks worn, along with a short-sleeve button-up shirt.
Summer White/Blue ("Salt and Pepper")
Originally worn by E-6 and below starting in the mid-1970s with temporary suspension (until 1982) of the traditional "crackerjack" uniforms for E-6 and below, later expanded to include Petty Officers and assigned officials. Best known by the nickname "salt and chilli," the uniform consists of a summer white shirt and blue winter trousers for men and a summer white blouse and a blue winter trousers or a blue winter skirt for women. The headgear consists of a combination cover (for example, coinciding with the mid-1970s/pre-1982 period when the use of the "crackerjack" uniform and the "Dixie Cup" headgear suspended for E-6 men and below) and black shoes. Although the naval personnel still retained all the components that make up this uniform, its use was discontinued in 1983. Although the US Navy did not continue uniform in 1983, the Junior Navy ROTC unit continued to wear it for decades thereafter, until they themselves finally discontinued use in June 2010.
Service of Gray Dress
This short-lived uniform for officers and CPO was only allowed from 1943-49, but was a common sight on the East Coast and at the Atlantic/European Theater during World War II. It is identical in cutting and material to Khaki Clothing uniform but is medium gray with black button, worn with matching gray shirt and garrison or combination cover. The attendants' shoulder boards are also gray, with stars/symbols of corps and black ranking lines. "Working grays" are uniforms worn without a jacket and tie. The gray uniform was introduced by the Chief of Naval Operations of Ernest King, who considered khaki more appropriate for ground troops; Admiral Nimitz did not like that and played down his wear in the Pacific Fleet.
CPO Whites
From 1893 to 1975, Chief Petty Officers wore White Uniform Uniform consisting of white cotton trousers and a double-breasted reefer jacket with black tie. Badge assessment and black service lines worn on the left arm. This uniform is also worn by members of the Navy band without rank. The pattern of white officers was authorized for CPO in 1981.
Dungarees
Dungarees is a registered junior uniform (E1-E6) employed from 1913 to 1990s; through World War II dungarees with garrisons or cover combinations also used by CPOs involved in dirty work. Unlike subsequent work uniforms, dungare are not allowed to be worn outside military installations; service members are permitted to wear uniforms to and from in-vehicle installations, but are not allowed to stop in between dungarees. In fact, until dungare World War II can only be used in the port in the interior space of the ship, under the main deck or inside the tower gun.
Dungarees consist of a short-sleeved blue or long-sleeved shirt, white T-shirt, and denim bell-bottom jeans (the jeans are meant to have a heptagonal "puncture" pocket stitched at the front of the pants-legs rather than the traditional "incision" pockets in the jeans worn by civilians.) Head gear is a white "dixie cup" cover for men and an early form of black garrison hat or black beret for women; after graduating from the training camp, the command ball cap is optional (and in practice more common) Beginning in 1995, the white hat is no longer officially used for dirt, and the command balls (or the Navy) become the dominant cover.When the cold weather, black time lids are permitted.
The sailor's last name was white in the pants just above the back pocket on the right side. The name was also placed in black on a shirt just above the right breast pocket, usually stencilled. Names can also be reinforced with thread embroidery of appropriate colors on pants and shirts. Level badges (for small officers) and warfare devices are iron-on. The level badge consists of a black all-out eagle (dubbed "crow") and chevrons, removed from rating devices found on other uniform level badges listed.
Low black boots called "boondockers" are issued in a dungaree uniform, however, sailors are allowed to wear black leather boots. Flight deck personnel are given a higher type of boots like boots known as "wing walkers". This type of boots has a zigzagged outer sole to avoid gathering FOD (Debris of Foreign Objects) among the mountains that can contaminate the flight deck and cause potential damage to the aircraft. Boots ankle "Dealer/Chelsea" (colloquially known as Lox boots) with elastic sides removed for personnel working with liquid oxygen for easier transplanting if the boots will freeze after contact.
Utilities
The enlisted utility uniform was worn by the veteran junior sailors, from pay-E-1 to E-6, from the mid-1990s to 2010, when they were removed for NWU. The utility consists of dark blue chino panties with a polyester-cotton blend shirt, and is considered the latest version of the jasung uniform. Utilities are intended for use in work environments but are allowed to be used outside military installations, unlike clothing.
Usually the sailors wore command ball caps in this uniform, although black clock caps were allowed in cold weather; white "dixie cup" caps are worn for special ceremonies such as the removal of a dignified desert. The cloth name cassettes are used similar to those used in the utility uniforms of other services. In 1995 a cassette with the words "US NAVY" began to be inserted in the left breast pocket with enlisted enlisted enlisted emblem badges on it, and embroidered rating badges. The footwear for this uniform is a full round black boots (referred to as a boondocker), preferably with steel fingers. The blue utility jacket given authority in the climate is not cool enough to guarantee wearing All Black Weather Coat.
Enlisted Undress Blues
Prior to the introduction of Blue Blue/Winter Working Blue uniforms, E-6 and below personnel in offices and classrooms were authorized to wear the Undress Blue uniform; this is generally similar to the Blue Dress "crackerjack" uniform but does not carry plumbing or stars, and its wide and sleeveless arms like those of the current Dress Whites. Prior to 1941 this was a standard work uniform for all tasks "on the deck" because dungaree was not allowed anywhere the public could see them. Ribbons and neckerchiefs are not worn and uniforms are not allowed for freedom.
Registered Leather Clothing (before the war)
Until 1941, summer and tropical equivalents with Dress Blue "crackerjacks" were a white cotton jumper uniform with flap and flap blue tar, decorated with white piping and stars like blue uniforms. This uniform is terminated "for a period" and never restored; on the contrary the White Undress with the addition of ribbons and scarves became summer uniform for sailors.
"Flat Hat"
From 1852 to 1962 (though in practice rarely used after the middle of World War II), the sailors were registered with blue flat woolen caps with ribbons around bands similar to those used by the Royal Navy. "Donald Duck" is worn in a Uniform Dress Service uniform on more formal occasions as a "White Dixie cup" replacement. The ribbon carries the name of a ship or a gold embroidered user station until 1941, when it was replaced by a general "US Navy" as a measure of security during the war.
