Default Re: u.s. navy uniforms

That's probably the one on the uniform. If there is white piping around the cuffs and on the collar flap (enlisted) then this is the rank designation at the time. A plain jumper meant seaman recruit. There could be one to three white pipings on the cuffs and collar designating variously seaman apprentice, able seaman, etc. translating today into rank equivalents of E-1 to 3.
