 Submariners are among the Navy's most technically trained and skilled people - they need strong and intelligent leaders. Submarine officers command, manage and operate the fleet attack and ballistic missile submarines that patrol the world's oceans - monitoring enemy hostile actions, intercepting electronic communications and gathering information. Submarine officers have the immense task of ensuring that all of a sub's self-contained systems run smoothly, from oxygen and fire control systems to flood management, nuclear propulsion and weapons systems. A small group of disciplined and committed officers are in charge of an entire crew and some of the most secretive and technologically advanced equipment in the world. When it comes to upholding national security, the U.S. submarine force provides the most pivotal service in the military by deterring conflict through its powerful offensive capabilities. If you have the strength, ambition and discipline to be part of an elite group of leaders, rise to your life's challenge by becoming a submarine officer.
What Will You Do?
 Submarines, their officers and crew are heavily relied upon for anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, land attack, strategic deterrence and landing Special Operations forces. Standards for submariners are very high and operations are often covert and classified. During a sea tour, submarine officers may be in charge of any number of tasks, including the safe operation of the nuclear reactor, maintaining the ship's torpedoes, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and sonar, charting the ship's position and operating communications and intelligence equipment. As a submarine officer, you will be specially trained in the nuclear field and assigned on a nuclear-powered attack submarine or a nuclear-powered fleet ballistic missile submarine.
 Attack Submarines: Designed to pursue and attack enemy ships and submarines. They are the most effective anti-submarine warfare tool available to counter diesel and nuclear-powered submarines operated by potential adversaries. They improve communications and conduct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines: These submarines are longer than a football field and carry long-range nuclear warhead missiles. With their nuclear reactors and great speed, they are often the first ships on station when a situation arises.

incredibly rewarding, and the people that I work with are some of the best in the Navy."
