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
A submarine ordnance technician serves as an officer technical specialist for ballistic missile weapons systems, including missile, launcher, fire control, and warhead subsystems. This officer trains and supervises personnel who assemble, install, operate, test, maintain, and repair ballistic missile systems.
Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) prints officer code 726X as “Ordnance Technician (Submarine)…”, paired with its Chief Warrant Officer billet row (billet 7260 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 726X officer’s duties depend on the assigned billet.
