Wait, Captain Okita brought along a straw hat, as if he'd been expecting to have time for fishing?
And heck, who knows? He might have had it with him as a lucky/nostalgic thing. OR - he could've had it whipped up that very day - either from the ship's own fabrication plant/stores. Or maybe there's an equivalent of reeds to make it with on one of the nearby islands.
(By this point in the original series poor Captain Okita was bed-ridden. And I think his situation is rapidly deteriorating to that point in the new series. It took longer for his illness to actually knock him out of his full Captaincy in the 2199 version.)
