Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) defines officer designator 112X as: “An Unrestricted Line Officer who is qualified in Submarine Warfare”
- The paired billet row (1120) is “requiring Submarine Warfare qualification or afloat billets leading to such qualification”. a billet requirement, not a qualification conferred on every 112X 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.
