Experimental Shipboard Coveralls for Engineering Personnel.

Abstract

The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility (NCTRF) conducted a 6-month evaluation of a new wash-and-wear coverall aboard 18 surface ships and 5 submarines. The first phase covered 3 months of normal use, after which the coveralls were returned to NCTRF with individual comments recorded on an NCTRF questionnaire. After being thoroughly examined, the coveralls were returned for an additional 3 months of use. Letter reports were received after the second wearing. The coverall was found to be adequate for use by the engineering forces in place of the standard blue work jumper and trousers when performing duties which would temporarily soil their clothing. The new coveralls were also found adequate for use as a replacement for the standard submarine utility coverall for all types of duties. A 19-size range, including shorts and longs, shall be specified for issue.
