The topic of uniforms has come up a few times here. My son is currently in the Navy and stationed in Guam on the USS Frank Cable (Sub Tendor) They have a ships webpage, Today I noticed a picture of the two current uniforms all in the same frame. Neither of the two sailors is my son. From the caption you can see that both are 2nd class. One in dress uniform and one in work uniform. I understand this change was done so a sailor only needs 2 uniforms total. Not 4 or 5 between blues and whites, dress and work. Here is the link.

What sort of headgear would be worn with these uniforms? Surely not the white hat or flat hat of old. Something akin to what chiefs used to wear? That wedge-like thing soldiers wore, called a forage cap or overseas cap? I can't think what would seem appropriate.
