    Naval Career Overview

    America's Navy operates the world's most advanced fleet of ships. As a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO), you'll be responsible for maintaining and operating these vessels, their crews, and systems.

    As a SWO, you will have the opportunity to excel as a leader and take on roles such as:

    • Directing personnel operations aboard aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, amphibious warfare ships, mine warfare ships, and frigates
    • Managing shipboard vertical launch systems
    • Utilizing computer displays and advanced technology in battle and ship defense
    • Supporting naval expeditionary forces, Theater Air Missile operations, anti-submarine warfare, surface-to-air warfare, and supply missions

    Responsibilities and Specializations

    Surface Warfare Officers are involved in nearly every aspect of naval missions. Your role may include leading any number of shipboard operations and activities, working with specialized forces such as:

    • Aircraft Carrier Forces: Defend aircraft carriers by coordinating air, submarine, and surface ship defense
    • Cruiser-Destroyer Forces: Provide attack and defense capabilities, supporting anti-air, anti-submarine, and anti-surface warfare
    • Amphibious Forces: Embark and transport vehicles, equipment, and personnel for amphibious assault operations
    • Combat-Logistics Forces: Provide support with fuel, ammunition, food, and supplies, as well as repair, maintenance, and rescue capabilities through Fleet Support Ships
    • Mine Warfare Forces: Detect, identify, and neutralize maritime mines

    Additionally, you may serve in the prestigious Navy Nuclear community, working on nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers.

    Work Environment and Training

    As a Surface Warfare Officer, your work will take place at sea and ashore, in various environments. Sea duty involves serving aboard ships, while shore duty could include assignments at the Pentagon, the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA, or in command and management positions at bases and stations worldwide.

    Newly commissioned SWOs undergo advanced training that includes both sea and shore-based instruction. 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.

    Education Opportunities

    Surface Warfare Officers can advance their education through opportunities at institutions such as:

    • Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)
    • Navy War College (NWC)
    • Completing Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) at various service colleges

    Qualifications and Requirements

    To become a Surface Warfare Officer, a four-year degree from an accredited U.S. college or university is required. You can enter the SWO community through the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC), the U.S. Naval Academy, or Officer Candidate School (OCS) if you already have a degree.

    Candidates must:

    • Be a U.S. citizen
    • Be between 19 and 29 years old at the time of commissioning
    • Meet the Navy's physical standards

    General qualifications may vary depending on whether you are currently serving, have served before, or are entering for the first time.
