Under the heading of working dress, both khakis and grays were authorized. The blue and white service uniforms were to be used for the formal occasions. Under the 1947 order, the formal type uniforms which had appeared in the 1941 instructions, and which had not been worn during the war years, were omitted. The 1947 order was the long needed revision, but when it became available, it was evident that funds were limited! There were no illustrations as there had been for many years and the format was not so complete as earlier editions. On 21 March 1947, all ships and stations were advised by the Bureau of Naval Personnel that, as soon as funds were available, a completely up-to-date uniform instruction would be released. Several general revisions of the 1941 Regulations had been released in an attempt to bring essential portions of the many times modified and revised instructions up to date. The first uniform instruction issued after World War II was dated and was approved by Secretary of the Navy Forrestal.
