It is optional with officers to wear their uniform while on duty in the Navy Department, at the Observatory, Hydrographic Office, or on Light-house duty ashore. Officers, in their social intercourse within the United States, (upon occasions requiring them to appear in evening dress,) may wear a body coat, made according to the prevailing fashion, of navy-blue cloth, with five navy buttons on each breast, and with the devices of rank and grade on the ends of the collar, as authorized for sack and overcoats, but without shoulder straps, epaulets, cocked hat, or sleeve ornaments. Officers serving on courts-martial, courts of inquiry, boards of examination or special boards, or when attending as witnesses before courts-martial or courts of inquiry, or in any other capacity will wear the undress uniform, without swords, unless otherwise specially directed by competent authority. Officers will wear either the prescribed full-dress uniform for "general duty" or the "undress uniform" whenever they make official visits of ceremony to the President, Secretary of the Navy, heads of other departments, or to foreign authorities and vessels of war. Officers will wear the prescribed full-dress uniform for "occasions of special ceremony," whenever they make special official visits of ceremony to the President or Secretary of the Navy, or to foreign authorities and vessels of war.
