The UNSC Navy dress uniform differs little from those worn by members of the [[United States|United States Navy]] five hundred years previously. It consists of a white jacket, white trousers, and a peaked cap for males and a tricorn hat for females ranked [[Petty Officer]] and above. Both hats are decorated with an officer crest; a silver shield over two crossed gold fouled anchors, surmounted by a silver eagle. Those ranked [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] and above wear gold "scrambled egg" oak leaves on their caps, while Flag Officers may wear aiguillettes with the jacket. [[UNSC Decorations|Medals and ribbons]] are worn on the left hand side of the uniform.

The [[2531]] service uniform consisted of a double-breasted olive drab tunic, bearing the seal of the [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force]], with the wearer's surname printed above the seal. It was worn with matching trousers, a [[pistol]] belt, and a cap also bearing the UNSCDF seal. Should the officer be in command of a [[starship]], the [[Ship Emblem]] would be worn on the right shoulder. Medals and ribbons were not worn with this uniform.
