  1. Surface Warfare Community “Professionals At Sea” INTRO TO NAVSCI

  2. Learning Objectives • The student will . . . • Understand the contribution of the surface forces to the overall mission of the Navy. • Understand the types of training received in Surface Warfare Officer School (SWOS) and special occupation schools. • Recall the types of job assignments available for junior officers in the surface Navy.

  3. Learning Objectives • The student will . . . • Explain what is expected of a junior officer aboard a ship. • Be familiar with the surface warfare officer career path and opportunities including the requirement for joint duty. • Describe the designations and terms used to identify Navy ships.

  4. Learning Objectives • The student will . . . • Recall the ships included in the warship category. • Identify the characteristics, capabilities, and missions of various types of naval ships. • Recall the purpose and use of underway replenishment in the Navy.

  5. Missions of the Surface Navy 1. Strike warfare (Power Projection) 2. Antisubmarine warfare (ASW) 3. Anti-Air warfare (AAW) 4. Anti-Surface warfare (ASUW) 5. Amphibious warfare 6. Naval gunfire support (NGS) 7. Mine warfare 8. Logistic support

  6. Strike Warfare • Power projection • Carrier assets • Surface Navy must protect this asset! • Air wing • Main tactical striking force of the Navy • Most effective weapon for AW, SUW, STRIKE • Tomahawk missile • Strike capability for shore and inland targets • Can carry up to a 1,000 lb. warhead

  7. Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) • Primary players • DDG’s and FFG’s • CG’s also, but more suited for AW • LAMPS helicopters (SH-60B/F) • S-3B Vikings Aircraft (being phased out) • Supporting assets • P-3 Orion Aircraft • SSN’s

  8. Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) • Detection vs. Kill • Detection • Sonobuoys • SONAR • Visual contact • Kill • Torpedoes (Mk-46, Mk-48, Mk-50)

  9. Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) • Long range aircraft and anti-ship cruise missiles present real threat. • Layered Defense • Carrier Battlegroup is protected by its; • F/A-18 Hornets • E-2C Hawkeyes (Overhead surveillance and air intercept controllers) • Long range Surface to Air Missiles (SAMs) from CG or DDG • Short range missiles (SAMs) and guns – ship’s weapons • CIWS

  10. Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW) • Weapons • Missiles • Harpoon > 800 miles • Penguin > 25 miles • Guns • 5”/54 < 15 miles • Aircraft • LAMPS MK III Helos

  11. LAMPS MK III • SH-60 B/F “Seahawk” • Launched from • CG, DDG • FFG, CVN • Roles include • ASW, ASUW (OTH-T) • SAR, CSAR, cargo lift, spec ops, drug interdiction

  12. Over the Horizon Targeting (OTH-T) • Uses an airborne asset to lock onto an enemy • Ship’s missile uses airborne radar to home in. • SH-60 B/F • E-2C “Hawkeye”

  13. Amphibious Warfare • “Put Marines on the beach!” Power projection - • Transportation • Deployment

  14. Naval Gunfire Support (NGFS) • Support of forces once on shore • WWII: BB • Now: 5”/54, 76mm mounts

  15. Mine Warfare • Mines • Cheap, low-tech method of warfare • Used by countries hostile to U.S. • Iran, Iraq • Mine Countermeasures • MCM • MCS

  16. Mine Warfare • MCM • mine hunter-killers • fiberglass sheathed • wooden hull • MCS (USS Inchon) (DECOM) • converted LHA • Command & Control • 8 CH-53E helos • 2 SAR helos

  17. Logistic Support • Oilers • Supply Ships • Repair Ships

  18. Fleet Organization • Task Force/Task Group • Expeditionary Strikegroup (ESG) • Surface Action Group (SAG) • Amphibious Task Force (ATF)

  19. Task Force/Task Group • Task Force • Large collection of ships under one command • Has the capability to perform USW NGFS AW Mine Warfare SUW Logistic Support Amphibious Warfare

  20. Task Force/Task Group • Task Group • Smaller part of a Task Force • Focused around one of these missions • Limited capability in other missions
