OBJECT OF SIGNIFICANCE

  • Navy female officer’s cover issued to Molly Boron. The Navy officially retired the combination- or “bucket”- cover in November 2018, ending the 78-year run for the staple of the female officer and chief petty officer uniform. All female officers and chief petty officers are required to wear what is officially called the unisex combination cover which in appearance and fit is essentially the male cover used for decades.
