WTK: Naval Cap Match to Uniform

[zepher11]

The local historical museum contacted me and wanted to know if I can find a hat/cap that would match this uniform. I know little, if anything, about US Navy uniforms. I searched a bit and thought maybe a Master Petty Officer Aviation Machinist or something like that. Not sure. Just be nice to know what cover this individual would have worn with this uniform.

Anyone have a hat that would be a match to this uniform, or point me to a place that may have a reproduction that would work for this display? Thank you in advance:

It should be a tan, visored hat, black hat band, with a Chief Petty Officer (CPO) badge on the front ("USN" over anchor). Not sure if the Master Chief grades (like this) have anything additional on them.

Postwar hats like that should be all over e-Bay, and relatively cheap.

Thanks Jeff. I found a reproduction visor today. I found out that the rank is a Master Chief Petty Officer today, so that really helped me find one.

Thank you for the help!
