Enterprise, CVN 65.  The uniform was made as part of Operation Trek Rec Deck, creating a recreation area on the aircraft carrier and supplying it with Star Trek memorabilia.  His costumer is wearing a costume designed and created for Lightyears.

It is understood that the Monday after being presented with this, the captain went to a regularly scheduled staff meeting wearing this uniform instead of his Navy issued uniform.
