Soviet Navy Officer Service (summer) Visor Cap
1970-1991 The white, summer version of the above cap; again
worn for both service and parade wear. The cap is
made of white cotton without piping and a black band.
The band is mostly covered by a tally-like ribbon -
but without the lettering or the 'tails' of the enlisted
cap. The white summer version of this cap typically had
a detachable cover (for cleaning) while the black winter version
had a fixed crown. All badges and buttons are in
gold - once reserved for line officers (technical and admin
officers wore silver) - but standardized for all officers around
1975. Again, the gold cords and lack of metal leaves
on the visor indicates a junior officer of the period
wore this cap. The metal cockade could be either all
metal or wire embroidery with a metal center and star
(senior officers favored the embroidered version). This cap (with gold
cords) was also authorized for Naval warrant officer wear after
1989. Prior to that date, they wore a black chinstrap.
