I have always a sartorial soft spot for Navy blue camo. But that Sharp Pointy Thing looks like da no ka oi, one bess kine, sine qua non of accessorizing. BZ!
I always wonder WHY. Were they going to try and hide on the water, or were they just "keeping up with the Joneses" uniform wise. Why go away from dungaree bell bottoms and crambrey shirts. Same mindset that put all enlisted in the CPO uniform for dress.
I always supposed that the answer to "Why?", Joseph, was that each new CNO wanted his legacy to be, was to have left after his tenure with having his sailors in the snappiest uniform ever. Which, of course, was paid for out of the paltry monthly uniform allowance we got that was almost enough to keep us in skivvies, hankies and a few six packs of beer before payday.
What you need is a old Swiss sawback engineer bayonet. They can be modified to fit standard M1 Garands, I'm pretty sure they could be done for shotguns.
It seems to me that a Mark 1, Mod 0 malefactor might feel confident that I won't shoot him, but might wonder if I would pin him, like a butterfly, to (the floor)(the door)(the wall).
And, hesitating to wonder, might preserve his life.
But those green gloves don't even match the ensemble! Even IF the stainless "goes with everything". Cool indeed. 😀
Just the sort of rig I imagined for hog hunting in Missouri except I want a M1917 bayonet.

... for more standoff?
That sharp sticker belongs on a Winchester 1897 Trench Gun. On a Remington 870, meh.
Yeah, looks cool, but if he's that close I'm dead.
Yeah, cosplay is always fun. I’ll take a light, thanks.
Lights on firearms, like tracers, work both ways
The trick is knowing how to use them. There’s no gadget that beats training and judgement.
Few men are killed by the bayonet; many are scared by it.
Bayonets should be fixed when the firefight starts - George S. Patton
My Mossberg is a 590a1-mod 50771; it came with a bayonet

I've seen bayonet training manuals on gutenberg.org, you might check those out. :-)

That's very impressive.

Bayonets are old and busted.
The new hotness is a bayonet mounted chainsaw.
