Navy Manual



		Section VII: Naval Uniforms There are four basic types of uniforms regularly worn by Vast Empire Naval Officers. Which uniform is worn depends on the type of duty or occasion. Detailed below are the Combat Pilot Uniform, Duty Uniform, Dress Uniform, and the Ceremonial Dress Uniform, or Parade Uniform as it is sometimes called. Combat Pilot Uniform The uniform of a combat pilot is thoroughly utilitarian. The only marks of distinction are the rank insignia and position badges. This is the uniform worn while on combat missions in single seat fighter craft.
