I know at one time the Navy had gray and even during the war they were sometimes blue. On a modern US Naval base, what color would the deuce and a half and other vehicles be? OD or haze gray?

Kenny, mid that i got out of the Navy in 2006, but most (90%) of stuff moving around a navy base in white PWC operated International 5 tonne stake trucks. the dueces are marine corp and rarely even seen on amphib bases. those are either OD or armor sand depend the last deployment area. For the Navy though, if its too big for a F250 six pack it's on the 5 ton. general rule there. HTH Steve
