Uniforms

Uniforms are different to those of the Navy. During Winter, all ranks wear a navy blue uniform with a single-breasted Army-style jacket (as opposed to the double-breasted Naval style). Summer uniforms for officers and Petty Officers remain the same, however Ratings wear their winter trousers with a white short-sleeved shirt. Ranks are the same in all branches, however rating titles of course differ (with "Rifleman" being the most common rating). For headdress, ratings wear a black Army style peaked cap.
