The '''UNSC Navy Service Uniform''' is the standard uniform for garrison and shipboard wear by officers and ratings of the [[UNSC Navy]], as opposed to the [[UNSC Navy Dress Uniform|dress uniform]] which is worn at parades and functions. Unlike the [[UNSC Navy working uniform|working uniform]], it is not normally worn in physical working environments.<ref name="ReferenceA">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref><ref name="TPoA">'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref><ref name="ReferenceB">'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref>

Two very similar versions of the service uniform were worn in late [[2552]]. One version consists of a long, light gray tunic and a matching pair of trousers.{{Ref/Note|This section describes Captain Keyes' uniform as it appears in ''Halo: Reach'' and ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''.}} The wearer's surname is displayed on the right breast; rank insignia is displayed high on the left breast, with the ship emblem displayed immediately below and ribbons beneath the emblem. Epaulettes are worn on the shoulders, though they do not display rank insignia. This uniform is similar in design to the [[UNSC Army]]'s [[UNSC Army Dress Uniform|dress uniform]], though the Navy's uniform undershirt is dark gray as opposed to the Army's black.{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceA}}{{Ref/Reuse|TPoA}}{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceB}}

The other known service uniform is usually blue gray,{{Ref/Reuse|Crow's Nest}}<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant]]''</ref>{{Ref/Note|This section describes Lieutenant Commander Keyes' uniform as it appears in ''Halo 3''. [[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal 9|Terminal 9]] in ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' shows that [[:File:Miranda Memory.jpg|Miranda wore said uniform circa 2550]], suggesting that her uniform's appearance in ''Halo 2'' has been retconned.}} This version is also comprised of a long-sleeved tunic and matching trousers. The wearer's surname is displayed on the right breast and ribbons are worn on the left. Rank insignia is displayed on each shoulder board, as well as on either side of the collar and on the cuffs. A magnetic pistol holster in mounted on the right thigh. A name tag displaying the officer's last name is mounted on the right hand side of the uniform while ribbons are worn on the left hand side. Rank insignia is displayed on the shirt cuffs, collar, and shoulder boards. Headgear is not known to be worn with either of these uniforms.

A variant of the second uniform worn by flag officers is white and resembles the standard [[UNSC Navy Dress Uniform#White dress|white dress uniform]]. Flag officers wear peaked caps displaying the officer's crest with this uniform, and may also wear medals on the right breast below their ribbons.<ref name="Crow's Nest">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Crow's Nest]]''</ref><ref name="Floodgate">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref><ref name="Halo">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref>

This uniform was more formal in appearance, but decorations were not displayed.{{Ref/Note|This section describes the uniform worn by the crew of the UNSC ''Infinity'' in ''The Commissioning'' trailer.}} The officer's uniform design consists of a gray wool double-breasted tunic and jacket, and gray trousers. Rank insignia is displayed on the epaulettes on both the tunic and the jacket, though insignia can also be displayed on the jacket's collar. Both the tunic and jacket have large black shoulder and side sections, and appear extremely similar. However, the tunic has a black collar while the jacket does not, and a gold device is displayed there instead of rank insignia. The [[UNSC]] emblem is prominently displayed on the left breast of the jacket and tunic, with a name board below it.

 

This version blends practical considerations with more ostentatious elements in having an integrated body armor vest and shoulder pauldrons for additional protection, while displaying decorations and prominent rank insignia.{{Ref/Note|This section describes the uniform worn by the crew of the UNSC ''Infinity'' in ''Halo 4''.}} The uniform consists of a short tunic and trousers, both primarily colored gray; the insides of the trousers and sleeves as well as the midsection of the tunic under the armor vest are dark gray. The back of the vest has additional armor plating to protect the spine; an array of blue lights are displayed in these armor sections.
