Your Navy’s Operational Science Team Naval Operational Oceanography UNCLASSIFIED
An opening thought … “ Our planet is invested with two great oceans; one visible, the other invisible; one underfoot, the other overhead; one entirely envelopes it, the other covers about two thirds of its surface. ” Matthew F. Maury (1855) The Physical Geography of the Seas and Its Meteorology
Aligned to our Navy’s Mission • Protect and defend America on the world’s oceans. • Deployed around the world, around the clock. • Ready to defend America at all times. Warfighting First - Operate Forward - Be Ready!
