Admiral Zumwalt back in the early 70s did that one already. As soon as he was replaced as CNO they were brought back, to the general relief of the Navy. From what I read, Mrs Zumwalt motivated this. She didn’t like the traditional sailor uniform.

I doubt they are in a hurry to repeat that fiasco.

Really? I think the sailors look very handsome in the Cracker Jacks. MUCH nicer than those awful new blue fatigue things that give everybody a case of droopy ass so severe it looks like they’ve had an “accident” in them.

Regards,
