The Western Naval Command (WNC) recently decorated 21 newly promoted senior officers including five captains who were promoted to commodores, six commanders to captains and 10 lieutenant commanders to commanders.
According to the Command Information Officer, Western Naval Command, Commander Thomas Otuji, shipping of stripes is an age-long naval tradition that is dedicated to the Royal Navy and has now been adopted in most navies of the world. In the early days of the navy, he said it was the core practice of the officers to wear stripe on the curve of their uniforms jackets.
“Upon promotion, a new stripe will be added to the curve. The new clean stripe will also stand out from the older more whether stripe. The wedding of the the stripe was often an attempt to get the new stripe to match the older stripe so that the promotion will not look recent.
