    I guess if you’re standing on the deck of a naval vessel, it doesn’t matter much what you’re wearing

      I thought the idea behind the design of naval uniforms was to be highly visible, to help rescuers if you go overboard. Like bright colored, reflective work wear around machinery, etc.

        Legend has it that NWUs (the blueberry camo) were made to help hide grease stains and keep the uniforms servicable for a bit longer than solid blue
