U.S. NAVY Sailor's Creed has 2 versions, what is the diff? "Fighting spirit of the Navy or Navy Bluejackets??"

I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy Bluejackets who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world...or the other one: I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and all who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world. Are the bluejackets a certain KIND of sailor referenced in the one creed?

That's just a portion of the creed but it's been revised.The latter is what is in used nowadays even for enlisted.
