Could be: Change of command ceremony Formal reception for senior flag rank e.g. CINCPACFLT (Commander in Chief of Pacific Fleet) or a Washington official e.g. CNO, Chief of Naval Operations, or SecDef, Secretary of Defense ie formal occasions either during operating hours during day or evening functions.... (Mess dress is more formal than dress whites and worn in the evening) We all wore dress whites once for change of command for CO of Miramar NAS.......and then we went directly to the officer's club pool for a formal reception....(that pool was in TOP GUN film) The men hate the dress white uniform because of its high starched neck, and unlike the female officer's dress whites, they cannot remove the blouse (jacket) Dad used to call it 'the strait jacket' as did friends of mine. but it sure is terrific. I think Steve would look amazing as did Magnum when he wore his. There was an opening shot of Magnum in dress whites every episode, but Only shot I could find of Magnum in whites is this one in tropical white long which is the tropical working uniform:
