Warfare Specialist
As a Warfare Specialist, you’ll be part of the team detecting threats to your ship, identifying targets and making crucial tactical decisions. This is a vital job, involving some of the world’s most advanced electronic systems. You’ll be using radar and other equipment to see what’s happening on the sea and in the air, then passing the information to the Warfare Officers on your own and other ships. As your career progresses, you can specialise in above-water, underwater or electronic warfare. You’ll have a more direct role in operations, as part of the team that loads and aims the ship’s weapon systems. As an expert in weapon safety, you’ll also help to make sure both the ship and your crewmates are safe, both in peacetime and when you go into action.
