Check out this photo taken aboard the cruiser Anzio in the Middle East. Good to know that if you can’t afford the new Navy Working Uniform (which was designed to hide grease and paint), a bucket of paint and a set of blue coveralls will do the trick.

So wait … the Navy spent $226 million to field a new uniform, just to have it look like another uniform it wants to hide?
