Naval Working Uniform (NWU) Type I

The NWU Type I "blue digital camouflage" uniform served for many years as the standard working uniform of the United States Navy and was worn by Sea Cadets throughout the country. Although it has largely been replaced by the NWU Type III in today's Navy and Sea Cadet program, it remains an important part of our organization's history and represents a generation of cadets who trained and served in this distinctive uniform.


Our unit preserves this heritage by recognizing the role the Type I uniform played in the evolution of the Sea Cadet program.
