Uniform, Captain Hans Arnsdorf

Captain Hans Arnsdorf wore this uniform in the Canadian Forces Maritime Command, which replaced the Royal Canadian Navy.

Maritime Command shared this green "unification" uniform with the army and the air force, with only the jacket's lapel badges and the beret badge providing a naval identity. The four stripes on the sleeve denoting Arnsdorf's rank of captain have also lost the "executive curl", a small circular loop on the uppermost stripe.
