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.
