Hat

Union Navy Uniform Hats

 Enlisted and Warrant Officer's hat bands are black, not gold. Navy Captains have one row of "scrambled eggs" on the brim, Flag Officers have two rows.

The Union Navy allows ship board crews to wear duckbill caps as part of the standard board duty uniform (Uniforms E and D) and it is also permitted to wear the cap off duty.

Each ship issues its own cap.
