| The full dress uniform, used for ceremonial affairs, differs little from those of the United States Navy in the 20th and 21st centuries. 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.

| ===Black dress=== | | ==Service Uniform== |
| A full-black dress uniform, similar to [[UNSC Marine Corps Dress Uniform#Black uniform|that]] of the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, is also used. This version features a black peaked cap, at least for males, which bears insignia. As with the white dress uniform, epaulettes are worn on the shoulders, while badges and ribbons are worn on the chest. Rank insignia is also displayed on the cuffs.<ref name="Monument">'''Halo Living Monument'''</ref> It is possible that this uniform is reserved for somber, funerary occasions, as such uniforms were worn by all in attendance, including the [[Unidentified commander (Living Monument)|officiating commander]], at the dedication of a memorial [[Halo Living Monument|"living monument"]] after the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="Monument"/> However, the white dress uniform is also known to be used under such circumstances.<ref name="Halo"/>{{Clear}}

| ==Trivia==
| |
| The color-coded working uniforms seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 3'' are [[List of Marathon references in the Halo series|clearly inspired]] by those worn by [[w:c:marathongame:BOB|BOBs]] in the ''[[Marathon]]'' trilogy. The crewmen who wear these uniforms also resemble the BOBs in personality and sometimes quote famous ''Marathon'' phrases, including the iconic ''"They're everywhere!"'' In ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', however, all Navy personnel aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} wear gray two-piece uniforms which resemble those seen in ''Halo Wars'', ''Halo: Reach'', and later media.
