The Naval Service is to undergo a roll-out early next year of new hi-tech uniforms which are fire-resistant, don't melt, warm in cold weather and there are even ones specifically designed for expectant mothers.

It's the first time since the 1960s that the Naval Service has undergone a major change in uniforms, with the new ones having camouflage patterns.
