USMC Uniform
Naval personnel deployed to United States Marine Corps units may wear USMC uniforms with US Navy insignia. These are mainly medical, JAG Corps and Chaplain's Corps personnel. US Navy personnel wearing USMC uniform must meet USMC appearance and grooming standards (more strict than those for the US Navy)
US Mavy personnel may not wear USMC blue or white dress uniforms.
Aviation
Naval Aviators, Naval Flight Officers, and Naval Aircrewmen are authorised to wear olive drab, or tan Nomex flight coveralls. Personnel handling/servicing aircraft on the flight deck of an Aircraft Carrier (or amphibious ships designated LHD, LHA, or LPH) wear colour-coded flightdeck jerseys. The following colours are used:
- Purple - Aviation Fuel Handlers
- Blue - Plane Handlers, Tractor Drivers, Elevator Operators
- Yellow - Flight Deck Officers and Plane Directors
- Green - Operations Personnel, Catapult and Arresting Gear Personnel, Ground Support Equipment Maintenance Personnel, Squadron Maintenance Personnel, Cargo handling personnel, Hook runners, Landing Signalmen Enlisted (LSE)
- White - Safety Observers, Squadron Trouble Shooters, Landing Signal Officers (LSO), Medics, LOX Handlers, Air Transfer Officers and visitors
- Red - Ordnance Handlers, EOD Personnel, Crash and Salvage Crews

Battle Dress Uniform/Desert Combat Uniform
Battle Dress Uniform/Desert Combat Uniform is also worn by Navy SEAL teams, along with SWCC crews (the "Brown Water Navy") who transport SEAL platoons to and from combat operation areas. The Battle Dress Uniform (BDUs) are typically worn by Master at Arms or other security personnel both ashore and afloat, and are authorized for those in the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Fleet Diver communities. Combat utilities are also authorized for those attached to Navy Construction (Seabee) battalions, although they, as well as other selected units, currently wear the old-style BDU camouflage. Sailors attached to the Navy's Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) also wear the old-style BDU camouflage uniform. Also, Navy personnel assigned to some joint headquarters units, like Central Command in Qatar and Iraq wear combat utility uniforms.
USS Constitution
Personnel assigned to the USS Constitution, the oldest warship in continuous commission, and only one of six original United States sail frigates still in existance, wear US Navy uniforms according to regulations posted in 1815 on public occasions.
