A variant of this uniform used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] lacks the rank insignia and is a darker shade of gray, along with several minor differences. Instead of the stylized UN symbol adorning the left breast on the standard Navy uniform, this version is emblazoned with a black ONI emblem.
