In the Armed Forces of Ukraine declare, that in connection with the next reform, which concerns including military uniform shape and attributes of species and genera of troops, fair amount of confusion has begun. The greatest confusion, According to Ukrainian portal UkrMilitari, attributes associated with Special Forces and Navy directly Ukrainian Navy. The servicemen can not possibly understand, Berets exactly what color they are now supposed to wear.
Defense regulates the following rule: beret navy blue is navy commandos (those units, which previously belonged to the Marines), berets and dark blue (so-called embodiment "squadron") carried by military personnel of all other units of naval forces.

And they, who really belongs to the Navy SEALs (former "black berets") forced to wear all-arms dark blue berets, characteristic for all members of the Navy. The thing is, otreformirovannoe that the military legislation of Ukraine can not determine, who exactly is the military special forces the Navy - signaller of artillery Marine Brigade Command, Navy Marine, that de jure does not apply to the personnel of the special purpose units of the Navy, or both. Or none of them…
