How
to Wear the Navy & Coast Guard Sword
WEARING
THE NAVY, or COAST GUARD SWORD. Wear the sword belt under the coat. The short belt strap
and lock swivels are passed through the coat opening on the left side
(as shown) and the longer strap hangs free. Hold the sword with the
right hand and attach the back swivels to the scabbard rings as shown.
Twist
the sword one half turn in a clockwise direction and suspend on the
sword hook with the uppermost scabbard ring. The sword handle faces
aft when properly worn.
NOTE:
When wearing an overcoat with Full Dress Blue, the sword goes through
the slit in the bridge coat and the lower loop goes through the back
vent in the coat and the sword attached - same as Full Dress Blue. A
sword is not usually worn with the all-weather coat.
