===United States=== ====Navy and Coast Guard==== [[File:US Navy Cap Devices.png|thumb|U.S. Navy current and former cap devices.]] The main exceptions to the Royal Navy pattern are the [[United States Navy]] and the [[United States Coast Guard]], which once followed this pattern, but changed after the [[American Civil War]] to their current designs. The Navy has crossed anchors behind the eagle and shield for commissioned officers, while the Coast Guard uses a single large anchor held in the eagle's claws on its commissioned officers' caps; officers in both branches wear a miniature version of the commissioned officer insignia on the left side of the garrison cap, with rank insignia worn on the wearer's right. [[Chief petty officer (United States)|Chief petty officers]] and above in both the Navy and the Coast Guard have a larger version of their collar insignia as their cap badge for the [[Peaked cap|combination cover]] and a miniature version worn on the [[Side cap#United States|garrison cap]]; [[Petty officer first class#United States)|petty officer first class]] and below in both services wear a full-sized rank insignia on the garrison cap. Junior enlisted coastguards wear a combination cap badge featuring a gold disc in front of two silver crossed anchors, while junior enlisted sailors of both genders wear a [[sailor cap]] without any insignia. Midshipmen at the [[United States Naval Academy|US Naval Academy]] and the [[United States Merchant Marine Academy|US Merchant Marine Academy]] and in the [[Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps]] (NROTC), and wear a single, upright fouled anchor on combination and garrison caps, while cadets at the [[United States Coast Guard Academy|US Coast Guard Academy]] wear a single fouled anchor surmounted by a silver five-pointed star, with one point facing down. ====Marine Corps==== {{multiple images |footer = Peaked cap devices of US Marine Corps Eagle, Globe, and Anchor |perrow = 4 |align = right |caption_align= center |total_width = 330 |image1 = Officer EGA.png |caption1 = Officer dress |image2 = US Marine Corps Insignia-Subdued.png |caption2 = Officer service |image3 = Enlisted GlobeAnchor.jpg |caption3 = Enlisted dress |image4 = USMC EGA Enlisted Service.jpg |caption4 = Enlisted service }} United States marines wear the [[Eagle, Globe, and Anchor]] as their cap device: gilt and silver for officers and gold for enlisted on [[Uniforms of the United States Marine Corps#Dress uniform|blue dress]] uniforms, and subdued for all ranks on [[Uniforms of the United States Marine Corps#Service uniform|service and utility]] uniforms. Marine-option [[midshipmen]] at the US Naval Academy wear the same cap device as other midshipmen, while NROTC midshipmen wear the enlisted-dress Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on all their uniforms instead of an anchor.
