 What will you do?
While the U.S. Navy has the most technically and tactically advanced defense and war-fighting capabilities on land, in the air and under the sea, the mainstay of the force is the vast fleet of aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, dock landing ships and other surface vessels. These ships and their crews are commanded and managed by an elite group of ship drivers and ship fighters- the Navy's Surface Warfare officers.
 Surface Warfare officers are involved in virtually every aspect of Navy missions. Anti-Submarine Warfare, Anti-Air Warfare, Anti-Surface Warfare, Land Attack, Theatre Air Missile Defense, support for Marine Corps missions, communications, damage control, and shipboard management all rely on the knowledge and expertise of officers in the Surface Warfare community. During a sea tour, Surface Warfare officers may be in charge of any number of shipboard operations and activities and may work with or within the following forces:
Aircraft Carrier Forces
Provide and coordinate air defense from conventional and nuclear-powered carriers.
Cruiser-Destroyer Forces
Provide ship attack and defense measures with a wide array of missile and fire power capabilities providing anti-air, submarine and surface warfare support.
Amphibious Forces
Embark and transport vehicles, cargo and troops for amphibious assault operations.
Combat-Logistics Forces
Provide combatant ships with fuel, ammunition, food and supplies and provide repair, maintenance and rescue capabilities through fleet support ships.
Mine Warfare Forces
Detect, identify and neutralize threats to maritime forces from hostile use of mines.
Shore duty may involve a tour of duty at the Pentagon, a student assignment at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, or command and management positions at shore bases and stations across the globe. If you have a love for travel and adventure on the high seas, becoming a part of the Surface Warfare community could be just for you.
