During a patrol, did either the German or the American submariners wear their hats?
I would think in the cramped spaces it would get in the way. I would imagine on a big surface ship it is not an issue but on a sub?
Was wearing a hat dictated by rank? Officers and CPO wear em but ratings didn't?
In a lot of the movies and the staged photographs they are shown under cover.
I am afraid that my experiences are non-naval. We never wore our hats inside unless we were under arms but I know them sailors do things differently
