Naval Cap Tag Translation

[Vpep]

Hello Everyone,
A friend of mine has offered me a beautiful navy flat cap. But before he turns it over, he wants to know what the tag says. I would greatly appreciate it if some of the more knowledgeable members of the forum could tell me what it says. As soon as I pick it up I can post some photos. Thank you in advance and I apologize if I don’t have the characters oriented correctly.
Thanks Vic

横徴水七〇六〇
Yokosuka Draftee, Sailor, 7060

• 横 ＝ 横須賀 Yokosuka
• 徴 for 徴兵 Chouhei（Draftee). This is often abbreviated -- as in your cap -- by using only the middle portion of 徴; it looks like 山 over 王
• 水 for 水兵 Suihei (Sailor)
• 7060 His serial number

Guy, thank you very much. I knew you’d come through. So this is a prewar cap. Now I can show this to my friend and bring the cap home. I’ll post some photos as soon as I get it.
