Job Description

Job Title: Surface Warfare Officer
Category / Component: Officer • Both

Overview
Surface Warfare Officers lead at sea by managing ship operations, combat systems, navigation, and warfare tactics to ensure mission readiness across the Fleet on destroyers, cruisers, amphibious ships, littoral combat ships, and auxiliaries.

Key Responsibilities
Direct shipboard watch teams and coordinate flight and underway operations; oversee navigation, engineering, weapons, and combat systems readiness; plan and execute maritime warfare, logistics, and amphibious operations; train and mentor Sailors, drive maintenance and material readiness, and prepare the ship for inspections, certifications, and deployments.

What to Expect
Experience high tempo deployments and underway periods interspersed with maintenance and basic training phases; assume broad leadership responsibilities early, making decisions under time pressure in complex situations; rotate through multiple departments and billets to gain experience in operations, engineering, combat systems, and administration; frequent time at sea with demanding schedules.

Work Environment
Sea tours aboard surface combatants and amphibious or support ships, with shore assignments at training commands, fleet and joint staffs, and other shore activities worldwide; work in combat information centers, bridges, engineering spaces, and command and control spaces at sea; office, classroom, and simulator environments ashore that support training, planning, and staff duties.

Pathways, Training & Advancement
Commissioning via the United States Naval Academy, NROTC, or Officer Candidate School followed by Basic Division Officer training and shipboard qualifications; earn the Surface Warfare Officer qualification through experience and demonstrated proficiency; attend advanced schools in tactics, engineering, and combat systems as you progress; complete joint professional military education and other leadership courses while advancing to department head, executive officer, and commanding officer assignments.
Primary accession through USNA, NROTC, or OCS with selection into the Surface Warfare community; Reserve affiliation opportunities for prior service Surface Warfare Officers with billets in training, staff, and operational support roles.

Qualifications
All Navy jobs require meeting general enlistment or commissioning standards, which typically include:

Eligibility to serve in the United States Navy, which may involve United States citizenship or other legal residency and work status, depending on the program and current law and policy
A high school diploma or equivalent for enlisted positions, and a bachelor's or qualifying professional degree for officer positions
Meeting age limits that vary by program and are set in law and Navy policy. Some communities have more restrictive age ranges
Meeting medical, vision, and dental standards, including body composition and physical fitness requirements, with some jobs requiring more demanding standards
Meeting character and conduct standards, including background screening
Achieving required test scores for your program, such as the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery for enlisted roles or officer qualification tests for officer programs
Eligibility for a security clearance when required for your rating or designator
Additional qualifications can include specific skills, education, licensure, or experience that are unique to a job or community and will be reviewed with you by a recruiter.

Additional qualifications for this job may include:
United States citizenship; bachelor's degree in any field, with strong leadership potential and technical aptitude; ability to obtain a security clearance; medical qualification for sea duty, including readiness to serve in shipboard environments at sea and in port; willingness to accept worldwide assignment and deployment.

Education
Education benefits are available through standard Navy programs such as Tuition Assistance, the Post-9/11 GI Bill, ACE-recommended college credit for Navy training, Navy COOL-funded certifications, USMAP apprenticeships, and other Navy College Program opportunities. Specific options depend on the Sailor's status, training, and current Navy policy.

Pay, Benefits & Service
Pay, benefits, and service commitments follow standard Navy Active and/or Reserve policies for this type of role, including basic pay, allowances when eligible, health coverage, and retirement options. Exact entitlements, special pays, and service obligations depend on program, component, years of service, and current law and Navy guidance.

Incentives
Incentives such as bonuses, special pays, and loan repayment may be available at times for specific ratings or communities, but they change frequently and cannot be guaranteed. Applicants must confirm current incentives and eligibility with an official Navy recruiter or authoritative Navy source.

Notes and Disclaimers
This description is a general overview of typical duties, training, and opportunities in this community. It does not replace official Navy instructions, policies, or contracts and does not guarantee specific assignments, training, incentives, or outcomes. Actual opportunities depend on Navy needs, individual performance, screening results, and current law and policy. Job Title: Surface Warfare Officer
