It seems like every time a commander is appointed to lead a service the one indelible legacy is to change the uniform.

Apparently the navy color scheme was never designed for camo:
' in 2007 the US Navy introduced its own uniform, the Navy Working Uniform (NWU), using a re-coloration of the Army's UCP or Universal Camouflage Pattern. The pattern is not intented to hide the personnel wearing it, but rather to camouflage paint, oil stains, and other potential soiling, as well as to give the US Navy its own identitfiable working uniform. The pattern has subsequently come to be called NWU-1 (or NWU Type I), as the Navy adopted two additional camouflage patterns for personnel operating in combat theaters (see below). Within the Navy, this pattern has earned the nickname "blueberries." '
