The Navy's camo is blue and would be useless on land. It's not typically worn much on ships where blue coveralls are the norm, at least as of ten years ago.
The idea that this was a gift to clothing manufacturers is pretty much the only logical explanation for the Navy's uniform...uh...situation.
- dragonwriter 7y ago> The Navy's camo is blue and would be useless on land There are three different color patterns for the NWU, soon to be reduced to two because the blue one is being eliminated. > It's not typically worn much on ships The blue NWU was intended for ships (it was the first of the three, and the name “Naval Working Uniform” is indicative of it's intended role); it proved poor in that role because of the lack of flame resistance, which is why it became rarely used and is scheduled to be eliminated.
- jonathankoren 7y agoThe navy’s blue camo was intended to hide stains, not people. The colors match the paint of the ships. It’s sole purpose is to extend the life of uniforms longer than khakis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_Working_Uniform https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_Working_Uniform
