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.
