The South Pacific? It's probably eighty degrees Fahrenheit with humidity to match in that picture.
Even the U-Boat sailors were allowed that privilege of shedding the uniform from time to time.

Post a link to the actual article.
WW2? South Pacific? You sure that's not Korean War era Southeast Asia?

Appears these men are operating in a subtropical environment. This they would be permitted to wear cooler clothing.
the shoes seem lax however. either this is some sort of exercise, or the beat to battle stations got these guys out of bed. compare to these u-boat men conducting loading activities in tropical summer heat

The original caption: "Five steward's mates stand at their battle stations, as a gun crew aboard a Coast Guard-manned frigate in the southwest Pacific. On call to general quarters, these Coast Guardsmen man a 20mm AA gun. They are, left to right, James L. Wesley, standing with a clip of shells; L. S. Haywood, firing; William Watson, reporting to bridge by phone from his gun captain's post; William Morton, loading a full clip, assisted by Odis Lane, facing camera across gun barrel." ca. 1941 - ca. 1945 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F...-AA-cannon.gif
