That said, most are going to drown before rescue with the heavy shoes and wet clothing. Contrary to popular belief, very few wear life vests at sea. It's mostly aviation types (think the flight&hangar decks) and when Boatswain Mates are required to work over the side. From watching documentaries, that seems to be the same policy. When the bow was getting buried in heavy seas, the Captain or OOD would give the order of no personnel on deck.
Why on earth do sailors NEED camoflage in any color or style? Combat MOS, sure, but SeaBees and SEALs seem to adopt whatever Marines use.
