The notion of a navy chroming their firearms: examples?

Now that you mention it, other than parades, ceremonies, or other show & tell, I cannot think of any reason why a military unit would pay extra $ to shiny plate a weapon, be it nickel, chrome, or whatever. Gray or dark blue weapons for the navy, maybe. But chrome or nickel? No tactical advantage that I can think of, but I can think of several tactical disadvantages.
