Navigation Controller - Nav Bar not showing on children

Question

I have view controller A and view controller B. A has a seque to B. A is embedded in a Navigation Controller.

The nav bar shows OK on A, however, it isn't showing on B. I'd expect to see see the nav bar and a "< Back" button. Here is my storyboard setup:

Is there something I have to do to get the nav bar to show up? Thanks!

Simple question did you add manually the navigation bar in your viewController A or is the embedded navigation bar from UINavigationController? — Reinier Melian, Aug 25 '17 at 01:51
@ReinierMelian The navigation bar in ViewController A is from embedding it in a Navigation Controller — Harry, Aug 25 '17 at 01:53
check your second viewController in right properties bar, check for top bar value and tell me what is the current value? — Reinier Melian, Aug 25 '17 at 01:57
@MikeTaverne Ah, I was using Show Detail. Changing to Show fixed it. Not sure the reasoning, nonetheless, thanks for the comment — Harry, Aug 25 '17 at 02:12
Show Detail is not at all the same as Show, nor would it have been appropriate in this situation. — matt, Aug 25 '17 at 03:06

So far, I assume the only reason that could let the navigation bar to be hidden is letting the kind of the segue to be not a Show. From the attached screenshot, it seems that your segue kind is Show Detail, if you would change it to Show it should be good.

Select the segue and then select the attributes inspector, change the "kind" option to: "Show (e.g. Push)":

and you should get the expected result.

If you would like to know what's the difference between Show and Show Details segues, you might want to check: What are the differences between segues: “show”, “show detail”, “present modally”, “present as popover”?
