Talk:UNSC Navy uniforms

I don't believe that Red fatigues are NCO's seeing that they are seen with sidearms the most. look at this page please http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_poa_uniforms/--Arabsbananas 04:38, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Split
Given the new varieties of dress and service uniform that The Commissioning and Living Monument trailers introduced, perhaps it's time to split this article like we have for the UNSC Army and Marine uniforms?--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 15:46, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

UNSC Uniform - Halo 2: Anniversary
In H2:A, Commander Keyes's uniform is an extremely close visual match to the uniforms her crew wear. It is also distinct from the uniform featured in Halo 3, while being a partial visual match to the coveralls worn by the crew in Halo:CE. It is likely that this is the UNSC Navy's Working Uniform for officers and non-commissioned personnel, while the Halo 3 uniform is the Navy's version of the service uniform seen worn by General Black and Colonel Mehaffey in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.

Extrapolating from this, we can guess that the uniforms seen in Halo 4 are the new NWUs to match the new service uniforms seen in the Commissioning trailer.

In current-day navies, the NWUs are usually in camo patterns, with rank worn in more limited fashion than on Service Dress. They are usually worn aboard ship. The Service Dress is worn whenever the sailor is on duty but in port, for example when working on a base. In Halo 2, Miranda was introduced wearing her dress uniform. However, when the ceremony is interrupted she remains wearing her dress uniform until she has a chance to get changed into something more battle-appropriate. She stays in NWU for the rest of Halo 2. However, when she is introduced in Halo 3 she is wearing service uniform, as befits a base CO. She likely wears this throughout Halo 3 to save the animators making another high-poly (for the time) model. This would explain the changes in uniform design over the course of the series in a far more streamlined way.

If this is accurate, this wiki's entire approach to uniform classifying uniforms will need to be re-written, and several uniforms will jump from one page to another. This seems like the kind of edit that should be moderator-approved beforehand.
