The trousers have slanted pockets on the legs so it is easier to use them when sitting down. The whole uniform has been designed to make it easier to get dressed quickly - something that is essential for those on board ships who may have to be woken up in the event of an incident. The boots have zips as well as laces, and the collar can be turned up and fastened instantly with Velcro rather than fiddling with buttons.
People were initially apprehensive but it is a very practical uniform that looks much more modern. People here are really proud to be wearing it; HMS Daring is a new ship on her first deployment and the fact that we get to trial a new uniform seems appropriate.
Also, the Staple belt is unchanged. The bellows type pocket is also a mistake, as they have a tendancy to catch on snaggy things, which naval ships are full of. No doubt those in engineering will continue to wear overalls. Catch says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing. Nightmare to iron That ships badge thing looks awful.

It was again declared in abeyance with the outbreak of war in , but was not formally abolished. Used on several ceremonial occasions after the war such as the coronation of Elizabeth II , it was abolished in , then replaced in with the current Ceremonial Day Dress. A version of Royal Navy Full Dress, complete with epaulettes and cocked hat, is still worn by the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports , but the current incumbent Lord Boyce wears his Royal Navy ceremonial day coat in lieu of this.
