    Description

    Role Overview

    America's Navy operates the world's most advanced fleet of ships. Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs) are extensively trained to maintain and operate these ships, their crews, and systems. In this role, you will lead by example and have opportunities to excel as a leader.

    Key Responsibilities:

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

    Navy Missions

    Surface Warfare Officers are involved in nearly every aspect of Navy missions. As a SWO, you may be in charge of any number of shipboard operations and activities, working with specialized forces like:

    • Aircraft Carrier Forces: Defend aircraft carriers by coordinating air, submarine, and surface ship defense
    • Cruiser-Destroyer Forces: Provide attack and defense with missile and firepower 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

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

    Work Environment

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

    Training and Advancement

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

    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.

    Eligibility Criteria

    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
