The better flash protection gets my vote, although it seems less distinctive than the old blues. :hmmm:

At least y'all aren't dumb enough to think that sailors need camo. ...and if sailors do need camo it should look like battery acid spills, or grease, or gray paint blobs, or whatever messy things that engineering gets into. :D

I'm getting really annoyed by uniforms with the rank slide on the front. When they're on the shoulders, you can see the person's rank from behind and in front, so you know the protocol around them without having to awkwardly check their front.

How many ships did we have to sell to the French?

This is a modern uniform which suits a modern Navy.

Agreed...the time has come for a change.

There's the rub. :salute:

Seems like that might lead to all sorts of bad results, like "my eyes are up here sailor". :har:
