I'm flabbergasted.. Why is the US Navy constantly changing uniforms? This has been ongoing since 1971!!!..Here's the latest on fire-retardant uniforms.

Here's a link to a forum with photos of the USN working uniform changes since the in the 70s & 80s..

NORFOLK (May 29, 2018) Sailors pose in three versions of the two-piece flame resistant organizational clothing variant prototype. U.S. Fleet Forces Command began testing the wear of the prototypes May 14, 2018, due to a strong demand from the fleet. The test period will run through September 2018 to determine if the prototype will support clothing requirements for operational units. This image was manipulated by merging three separate photos into one image with a white background. (U.S. Navy photo illustration by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Stacy M.

Welcome aboard @kickoff877 , you and @bdpopeye will have plenty in common!

I know I risk a bludgeoning for this, but I was perfectly happy with the NWU's. I never enjoyed the dungarees. To me, the NWU's were so comfortable, that I would take the blouse off and I'll still be wearing the pants late into the afternoon at home. With every other uniform I couldn't wait to get out of them.

You won't take any heat here!

I too did not like dungarees. They just did not fit me right. And were not really durable for heavy work.

Check out these shipmates of VA-195 Dambuster's aboard USS America in 1981;



When I first joined the USN on August 24th 1971 this was the working uniform I was issued. Some shipmate got dungarees. This uniform never got fully integrated into the USN because allowed two different sets of working uniforms.


Popeye shipping over aboard Fightin' Hanna on May 24 1975 aboard USS Hancock (CVA 19). LTjg Spangler is the officer.

....you could buy dungarees in any ships store or Navy Exchange. The USN went back to dungarees in '82..I think.

Check out this thread.....Popeye's Sea Stories

I would like to see the USN go to a working uniform like the Royal Navy or US Coast Guard.



US Coast Guard



Royal Navy...not happy with the berets..

The United States Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM), also known as NSWC[3] or WARCOM[4] is the Naval component of United States Special Operations Command, the unified command responsible for overseeing and conducting the nation's special operations and missions.

Originating in the unconventional naval units formed during the Second World War, NSWC was established on April 16, 1987 at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in San Diego, California. Its mission is to provide leadership, doctrinal guidance, resources and oversight to special operations carried out in maritime and littoral environments.[5] NSWC specializes in a broad range of tactical areas, including unconventional warfare, direct action, counterterrorism, special reconnaissance, and personnel recovery.

NSWC is organized primarily around eight Navy SEAL teams, three special boat teams, and various supporting commands, totaling approximately 9,200 personnel. Units can operate independently, as part of U.S. Navy carrier battle groups and amphibious ready groups, or integrated with other U.S. special operations forces. By utilizing the Navy's ships, submarines, and overseas facilities, NSWC forces can be deployed rapidly almost anywhere in the world.

The special warfare combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) is a United States Naval Special Warfare Command team that operates and maintains an inventory of small craft used to conduct special operations missions, particularly those of the U.S. Navy SEALs. Individually, SEALs and SWCC go through similar but separate specialized training programs both based in Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. SWCC training emphasizes special operations in the maritime environment. SWCC are trained extensively in crafts and weapons tactics, techniques, and procedures. Focusing on clandestine infiltration and exfiltration of SEALs and other special operations forces, SWCC provide dedicated, rapid mobility in shallow water areas where large ships cannot operate. Their capabilities include Direct Action through coastline or rivers (such as strikes, captures, and ship take downs by Visit, Board, Search and Seizure), Special Reconnaissance, Coastal Patrol and Interdiction of suspect ships and surface craft. SWCC specialize in swift mobility; due to this, they also have a high level of training in tactical driving and convoy operations. They've conducted many missions alongside SEALs from providing reconnaissance to clandestine infiltration and hot extractions.
