Introduction The purpose of the Royal Manticoran Navy Uniform Regulations is to: (1) Provide

descriptions of all authorized Royal Manticoran Navy uniforms and components, and (2)

Provide guidance for all Navy activities prescribing uniform wear in order to present a

uniform image world-wide.

Definitions:

RMN= Royal Manticoran Navy

SKM= Star Kingdom of Manticore

Officers= Commissioned and Warrant officers

Enlisted = a member of a military rank below a commissioned officer or warrant officer

(E-1 through E-10)

Non-Commissioned Officers = Enlisted personnel - Petty officers and Chiefs (E-4

through E-10)

All ranks= all RMN personnel, including enlisted, warrant, and officers

Sections in italics and quotation marks are from the TRMN website:

There are five Orders of Dress for personnel of the RMN:

1. Working Uniform

2. Undress Uniform

3. Service Dress Uniform

4. Dress Uniform

5. Mess Dress Uniform (officers only)

These Orders of Dress are based on one of two basic forms of clothing:

Coveralls Tunic

RMNR-100 1MAY2013

RMN BuPers

RMNR-100 MAY2013

Uniform Manual

Coveralls are worn by enlisted personnel for all Orders of Dress except in the case of

Dress Uniforms for Chiefs (i.e. grade E-7 through E-10), which are tunics. Dress

Uniforms are not worn by personnel of grade E-6 and lower (the Service Dress

coveralls are the most formal order of dress available to them). Coveralls are worn by

officers for Working Uniform only.

Tunic (worn with trousers) is worn by officers for all orders of dress except Working

Uniform (the least formal) and Mess Dress (the most formal). Enlisted personnel of the

grade of Chief Petty Officer and higher (i.e. grades E-7 through E-10) wear the tunic

for their Dress Uniform. The tunic is black and includes gold piping around the plastron

and the collar. The hem of the tunic will be at the wearer’s knuckles when the wearer

is standing with his/her arms are at his/her sides. It should be noted that the Dress

Uniform tunic, while of the same form as the tunic worn by officers for Undress and

Service Dress, includes gold buttons and “is more sharply tailored, made of more

expensive (and less utilitarian) materials, uses gold bullion for its insignia.” Mess Dress

replaces the tunic with a coat of different shape (a longer frock coat for senior officers

and a short jacket for junior officers).

available.

trim on their uniforms, except for the trousers stripe on the Service Dress

uniform.

Description of Each Order of Dress

1. WORKING UNIFORM

The Working Uniform is worn for duties that involve environments and tasks in which

the wearer expects to get their clothing dirty. For all ranks the Working Uniform

consists of black coveralls.

For officers and for enlisted ratings (E-1 through E-3) the coverall is all black.

For Petty Officers (E-4 and above) the coverall is black with stripes of the

wearer’s departmental color down the outer leg seams and around the shoulder

seams.

The only insignia worn on the Working Uniform is a name tape on the left breast, and

rank insignia.

For Officers, the rank insignia is woven into the name tape above the wearer’s

name.

For enlisted personnel the rank is indicated by stripes on the upper left arm, and

will include the wearer’s specialist rating patch. Enlisted rank stripes are in the

color of the wearer’s department.

Warrant officers will have their crown pips woven into the name tape similar to

commissioned officers, and will also have their rank chevrons on the left sleeve.

2. SERVICE UNDRESS UNIFORM

The Service Undress Uniform is worn for most standard shipboard duties that do not

include dirty tasks or environments. For officers, this would be the daily watch-

standing uniform unless otherwise ordered.

“The RMN uniform is black and gold. Officer's undress uniform consists of a black,

double-breasted tunic (which seals up the right side and has relatively long skirts which

fall to the upper thigh), a white blouse, and black trousers. The tunic collar is "Prussian"

in style-high and round but loose enough for comfort-and the blouse collar is a

turtleneck. Trousers are fairly loose and straight cut to just below the knee, at which

point they flare out and are bloused into low-topped space boots. The tunic's tailoring is

slightly wasp-waisted, and bears thin gold piping up either side of the cross-over front

panel. Trousers are untrimmed.”

Officer Service Undress Uniform

(Commander)

The Officer Service Dress Uniform is a black tunic worn over white turtleneck

blouse, black trousers. The tunic includes rank stripes on the cuffs, nametape on

the left breast, rank pips on the collar, ship patch on the left upper sleeve, and

the RMN patch on the right upper sleeve.

Enlisted Service Undress Uniform E1 - E3

(Environmental Technician Third Class)

“Enlisted undress uniform is considerably simpler than officer's uniform, consisting of a

tailored, one-piece coverall in standard Navy black. Name is worn on the right breast.

The shoulder yolk is done in the branch color as are the rank stripes on the sleeves.

Red for tactical, green for medical, yellow for communications, white for engineering

and electronics, brown for logistics, etc. Additional specialist insignia is worn on the

upper left sleeve as a shoulder patch under the unit name for all ratings and noncoms.”

3. SERVICE DRESS UNIFORM

The Service Dress Uniform is worn for more formal duties, such as those involving

interaction with the public.

“Cuff stripes are bands (usually referred to as "rings") of gold braid. A "normal ring" is half

an inch wide; half stripes are one quarter inch wide, and broad stripes are 1 inch wide.

In addition to the cuffs, a matching number of thin gold stripes are carried on the

tunic's shoulder boards. The shoulder board stripes run front-to-back, not side-to-side,

and work in from the outer end of the shoulder board. The background color of the

shoulder board is red, not black, except for Flag Ranks with "Of the Green" where the

shoulder boards are green.

“The left shoulder of the tunic normally bears the name and hull number of the wearer's

current ship (i.e. HMS Fearless, CL-56) in an "upside-down" horseshoe arrangement

immediately below the shoulder seam. The right shoulder bears the gold-and-scarlet

Manticore badge of the RMN. Collar insignia are worn on the tunic's collar, not the

blouse's, but the same insignia may be worn on an embroidered patch on the left chest

of the blouse, immediately above the pocket. Medals, ribbons and qualification badges

are worn on the left breast of the tunic for the Service and Dress Uniforms, but are not

worn on the Undress Uniform. In addition, starship commanders wear one star,

embroidered in gold thread, for each hyper-capable command they have held, above

their other ribbons.”

4. DRESS UNIFORM

The Dress Uniform is worn for formal occasions. For Enlisted Chief Petty Officers (E-7

and higher) this is the most formal order of dress.

“Dress uniform is similar to Undress and Service but is more sharply tailored, made of

more expensive (and less utilitarian) materials, uses gold bullion for its insignia and

bullion thread for cuff bands, and has gold piping up the outer trouser seams. In

addition, the tunic bears nine false buttons up either side of the double-breasted flap,

and the shoulder boards bear the appropriate collar insignia "inboard" of the gold stripes

for all ranks except Admiral of the Fleet.”

Officer Dress Uniform

(Commander, Knight of the Order of Queen Elizabeth)

The Officer Dress Uniform is similar to Service Dress, but constructed with more

costly materials and more formal tailoring. In addition:

Eighteen (18) gold buttons are worn, with nine on either side of the

plastron. The buttons are decorative rather than functional, as they do

not actually fasten the plastron.

Additionally, the trousers have 2.5 cm (1 in) wide gold stripes up the

seams.

The shoulder boards bear the appropriate collar insignia "inboard" of the

gold stripes for all Commissioned Ranks except Admiral of the Fleet.

Ribbons may be replaced by medals for awards that include medals.

Enlisted Dress Uniform

(Senior Master Chief Damage Control Mate)

“Dress uniform for both enlisted and non-commissioned ranks is a simplified

version of officer's dress uniform, with the addition of trouser piping color-coded

as for undress uniform.”

For Enlisted personnel up to E-6 (Petty Officer First Class), Service Dress is

the most formal uniform.

Grades E-7 (Chief Petty Officer) and higher may wear Dress uniforms, the

same as for officers except that the trousers seam stripes are 4cm (1½ in)

wide and of the color of the wearer’s department.

Enlisted personnel and Warrant Officers do not wear shoulder boards.

Rank is indicated as appropriate for wearer’s grade: for enlisted personnel

with stripes on the upper left sleeve, with service hash marks on the

lower left sleeve.

Like the Officer’s Dress Uniform, award ribbons are worn on the left side

of the chest and a name plate is worn on the right. However, there are

no shoulder boards, the collar has no rank insignia and rate insignia is

worn on left sleeve as normal. For Warrant Officers rank is indicated with

the appropriate pips on the collar, as well as chevrons on the left sleeve.

5. MESS DRESS

Mess Dress is worn by officers (commissioned and warrant) only and is the most

formal order of dress worn in the RMN. It is the naval equivalent to civilian

formal evening wear or court wear.

“Mess dress follows dress in overall concept, but for officers below the rank of

Captain Senior Grade (O-6B) the tunic is replaced by a short-waisted coatee which

ends at belt level. Senior grade captains and flag officers wear a longer tunic-

indeed, almost a frock coat-and a golden sash. In addition, jacket and trouser

seams are picked out in gold piping and a dress sword is a non-optional portion

of the uniform for all officer ranks. Mess dress's tunic collar is much tighter than

for dress uniform.”

stripes, but will instead have chevrons appropriate to their grade on their left sleeve.

A beret is worn with all Orders of Dress. The beret breaks to the right and bears a

patch featuring the SKM arms on left. Starship commanders’ berets are white; all

others are black.

Re: The wear and display of arms within TRMN (Admiralty Order 1112-01)

This Admiralty Order applicable to all Divisions of The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor

Harrington Fan Association, Inc. This Admiralty Order covers the Display of Replica Arms at any

event where TRMN are present. Local Laws and local regulations (such as convention policies)

always take precedence over this TRMN Admiralty Order.

DISPLAY OF REPLICA ARMS AT CONVENTION TABLES TRMN endorses the displaying of Replica Arms at convention tables. They are a fantastic talking

point and usually a draw for people. The following two rules will be observed at all times when

displaying Replica Arms:

1 The Replica Arm must either be “under glass” (ie. In a glass, clear plastic or other viewing

case) or must have a clear and prominent “Do Not Touch” sign which must be enforced

by those manning the table

2 The Replica Arm may be a full motion replica (ie. You pull can move anything on the

Replica or it is a fully working replica) but it may under no circumstances be loaded or

fired.

WEARING OF REPLICA ARMS AT CONVENTIONS TRMN realizes that we all wish to look as accurate as possible, and definitely encourages this. To

that end, the following are rules for the wear of Replica Arms at conventions. These rules take

second place to Local Laws and Ordinances, and Convention Regulations.

1 If you are wearing a Replica Pistol (inert or full motion replica) it must be holstered and

peace-bound as to disable the ability to draw the weapon out of the holster. This must

be demonstrated upon request.

2 If you are carrying a Replica Rifle (inert or full motion replica) it must have an orange

muzzle tip to indicate it is not a real fire arm, and as much as is possible, it must be

peace-bound to prevent accidental firing.

3 As with all weapons, no Replica Arm is to be aimed at anyone.

It is recommended that the carrying of a Replica Rifle at Conventions be limited to an Honor

Guard.

WEARING OF REPLICA ARMS AT EVENTS OTHER THAN CONVENTIONS Again, TRMN realizes that we all wish to look as accurate as possible, and definitely encourages

this. To that end, the following are rules for the wear of Replica Arms at events other than

conventions. These rules take second place to Local Laws and Ordinances, and Venue

Regulations.

1 If you are going to be at a venue that you do not own, it is recommended that you

consult with the owner or administrator for such venue to ensure compliance with their

wishes and local regulations.

2 Assuming you have permission to wear or display Replica Arms at the venue, the

same rules for Display and Wear at Conventions Apply.

Above all, no Replica Arm may be worn or displayed at any such event or venue where doing so

would hurt the organization’s reputation or your own. Remember to use common sense.

The enforcement of this Admiralty Order falls to every member, but especially Chapter COs and

their Department Heads who usually run tables at conventions. In Honour of the Queen! Issued by: Martin Lessem, KDE, KCR, GS Admiral of the Fleet RMN First Lord of the Admiralty
