In all the nautical movies and pictures and cross-sections I've seen (quite alot in the past few days), the soldiers are in uniform. So yes, I would say that the soldiers would wear some sort of uniform at most if not all times, in varying degrees of battle-readiness; i.e., fancy armor for battles, that black padded jerkin you mentioned for patrolling the ship, other sorts of soldiers' clothing for rest and relaxation, etc.
