I was on a carrier for a year, and we had a large number of false alarm Man-Over board events. The pilots were incredibly frustrated at the Navy's camo, because they would have to fly around looking for a blue sailor in a blue ocean until we finally finished counting everyone on ship. The reason the Navy has those is because they look cool and "carry the honor and tradition of the US Navy", the reason the military does most things. All in all, it gets kids fresh out of high school to sign up.
