Current service use not established

This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.

A Navy officer classification, not an enlisted rating.

Overview

Surface Electronics Limited Duty Officers lead and manage maintenance within combat systems, operations, and weapons departments afloat and ashore. They oversee the operation, interoperability, maintenance, acquisition, logistics, and program management of weapons, fire control, sonar, tactical data, communications, computers, navigation, air traffic control, and related systems.

Notes & Sources

  • NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) prints officer code 618X as “A Limited Duty Officer…”, paired with its Limited Duty Officer billet row (billet 6180 requiring the specialty); the row states who holds the code and which specialty the billet requires, not what duties every holder performs. See the cited block for the exact pairing text.
  • Because the Navy carries no duty, training, or clearance prose at designator level, occupation-specific recommendations are not published here; a 618X officer’s duties depend on the assigned billet.
