bluejackets

Enlisted naval personnel

Bluejackets are enlisted sailors in the navy, named for the dark blue uniforms traditionally worn.

The term distinguishes ordinary seamen from officers: The bluejackets scrubbed the deck while the captain looked on.

It appears most often in historical or formal contexts.
