About
America’s Navy has the most modern, advanced fleet of ships in the world. Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs) are extensively trained to maintain and operate these ships, their crews, and their systems. In this role, you will lead by example and have the opportunity to excel as a leader. You may serve as a Commanding Officer over an elite crew and be an authority in all aspects of Navy assignments.
Responsibilities
Directing personnel operations aboard Navy vessels such as aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, amphibious warfare ships, mine warfare ships, and frigates.
Managing shipboard vertical launch systems.
Using computer displays and advanced technology in battle and ship defense.
Supporting Navy expeditionary forces, Theater Air Missile operations, anti-submarine warfare, surface-to-air warfare, and supply missions.
Working with specialized forces including aircraft carrier forces, cruiser-destroyer forces, amphibious forces, combat-logistics forces, and mine warfare forces.
Training & Advancement Unless commissioned through the Naval Academy or ROTC, those pursuing a SWO position must attend Officer Candidate School (OCS) in Newport, RI. Newly commissioned SWOs undergo advanced training that includes both sea and shore-based instruction. New Surface Warfare Officers will be assigned to a surface ship where they will lead a team of Sailors in responsibilities such as electronics, weapons, and engineering systems. The focus is on earning full Surface Warfare qualification. After completing initial sea tours, SWOs may be selected for high-level staff, command, or strategic roles. Promotion opportunities are competitive and based on performance. The ultimate goal for many is to command their own ship.
