The USS Midway’s Enlisted Uniforms reflected a sailor’s rank, duties, and the long traditions of the United States Navy. During the Midway’s nearly 47 years of service, enlisted sailors wore a variety of uniforms depending on the era, their assignment, and whether they were working, standing watch, or attending a formal occasion. Traditional Navy dress uniforms included the familiar dark blue or white “crackerjack” uniform worn by junior enlisted sailors, while everyday shipboard work called for more practical clothing called Dungarees, designed for the demanding environment aboard an aircraft carrier. Insignia, rating badges, and chevrons identified a sailor’s rank and specialty, representing occupations ranging from aviation maintenance and engineering to communications, medical services, and navigation. On the flight deck, brightly colored jerseys and protective equipment further identified specialized jobs and allowed crews to recognize each other’s responsibilities instantly. Together, these uniforms tell the story of the many thousands of enlisted sailors whose diverse skills and teamwork kept the USS Midway operating around the clock.
