A Navy officer classification, not an enlisted rating.
Overview
A Surface Warfare Officer supports Navy missions involving antisubmarine, antiair, and antisurface warfare, land attack, missile defense, communications, and damage control. The officer also handles shipboard management and may serve with aircraft carrier, cruiser-destroyer, amphibious, combat logistics, or mine warfare forces.
Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) defines officer designator 111X as: “An Unrestricted Line Officer who is qualified in Surface Warfare”
- The paired billet row (1110) is “requiring Surface Warfare qualification or afloat billets leading to such qualification”. a billet requirement, not a qualification conferred on every 111X officer.
- The designator row is an identity/qualification statement, not a duty description, so occupation-specific skills, career paths, and credential recommendations are not published here; duties depend on the billet and community qualification.
