Notes & Sources

  • NAVADMIN 257/23 realigned the Information Systems Technician, Submarines (ITS) rating into three separate service ratings - ITN (Network), ITE (Electronic Warfare) and ITR (Communications) - each with distinct training pipelines, NEC codes and advancement examinations.
  • The current NAVPERS 18068F Vol I (Change 105, Jan 2026) publishes ITS through those service ratings only: chapter 67A is listed for ITS(ITE), ITS(ITN) and ITS(ITR) at Change 102 (April 2025), and no combined ITS chapter exists.
  • The ITS identifier alone does not establish which submarine IT specialization the holder performed; verified duty evidence is published on the ITE, ITN and ITR pages.
