• Naval officers still use the Royal Navy-style rank insignia on mess uniforms, complete with executive curl (see Royal Navy officer rank insignia). The colour designations for specialist officers are not used except for naval medical officers who may use a variant of the standard rank slip-ons and shoulder boards incorporating a red background between the gold stripes of their rank.
