Enlisted Sailors wear their job specialty in plain sight. Rating badges, worn on the left sleeve,

consist of an eagle (called a “crow”) chevrons indicating the wearer’s rate and a specialty mark

indicating rating. While some of these ratings have historical significance (such as Boatswain’s

Mate), others show the evolution of naval technology in modern times, such as the GS (Gas Turbine

System Technicians).

CRUISERS

Modern U.S. Navy guided-missilecruisers perform primarily in a battle forcerole. These ships are multi-mission, anti-airwarfare (AAW), anti-submarine warfare(ASW), long-range strike and anti-surfacewarfare (ASUW) surface combatants capableof supporting carrier and expeditionarystrike groups (ESG), amphibious forces, orof operating independently and as flagshipsof surface action groups.

AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT

Operating as part of an ExpeditionaryStrike Group (ESG), modern U.S. Navyamphibious assault ships are called upon toperform as primary landing ships forassault operations of Marine expeditionaryunits. These ships use Landing Craft AirCushion (LCAC), conventional landingcraft and helicopters to move Marineassault forces ashore. In a secondary role,using AV-8B Harrier aircraft and anti-submarine warfare helicopters, these shipsperform sea control and limited powerprojection missions.

MINE WARFARE

Avenger-class ships are designed as minehunter-killers capable of finding, classifyingand destroying moored and bottom mines.The last three MCM ships were purchasedin 1990, bringing the total to 14 fully-deployable, oceangoing Avenger-class ships.These ships use sonar and video systems,cable cutters and a mine detonating devicethat can be released and detonated byremote control. They are also capable ofconventional sweeping measures. Osprey-class (MHC 51) are also designed as minehunter-killers. MHC 51 has a 15-dayendurance and depends on a support ship-or shore-based facilities for re-supply.

AMPHIBIOUS COMMAND

Amphibious Command ships providecommand and control for fleet commanders.Commissioned in 1970, these are the onlyships to be designed initially for anamphibious command ship role. Earlieramphibious command ships lacked sufficient speed to keep up with a 20-knotamphibious force. Subsequently, both shipsbecame fleet flagships. USS Blue Ridgebecame the 7th Fleet command ship in1979, and USS Mount Whitney became the2nd Fleet command ship in 1981. USS La Salle (AGF 3) is the flagship forCommander, 6th Fleet and USS Coronado(AGF 11) is the flagship for Commander,3rd Fleet.

AUXILIARY SHIPS

The fast combat support ship (AOE) isthe Navy’s largest combat logistics ship.The AOE has the speed and armament tokeep up with the carrier strike groups. Itrapidly replenishes Navy task forces andcan carry more than 177,000 barrels of oil;2,150 tons of ammunition; 500 tons of drystores; and 250 tons of refrigerated stores.It receives petroleum products, ammuni-tion and stores from shuttle ships andredistributes these items simultaneously tocarrier strike group ships. This reduces thevulnerability of serviced ships by reducingalongside time.

ATTACK SUBMARINESAttack submarines are designed to seek

and destroy enemy submarines and surfaceships. A number of Third World countriesare acquiring modern state-of-the-art,non-nuclear submarines. Countering thisthreat is the primary mission of U.S.nuclear attack submarines. Other missionsrange from intelligence collection andspecial forces delivery to anti-ship andstrike warfare. (The new Seawolf-classsubmarine is designed to be exceptionallyquiet, fast and well-armed with advancedsensors.) It is a multi-mission vessel,capable of deploying to forward oceanareas to search out and destroy enemysubmarines and surface ships and to firemissiles in support of other forces.

The Virginia-class is the first U.S.submarine to be designed for battle-spacedominance across a broad spectrum ofregional and littoral missions as well asopen-ocean, blue-water missions. It fullyembraces the new strategic concept inFrom the Sea and Forward… From the Sea,and achieves the right balance of core military capabilities and affordability.

BALLISTIC MISSILESUBMARINES

Strategic deterrence has been the solemission of the fleet ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) since its inception in1960. The SSBN provides the nation’s mostsurvivable and enduring nuclear strikecapability. The Ohio-class submarinereplaced aging fleet ballistic missile sub-marines built in the 1960s and is far morecapable.

Ohio-class/Trident ballistic missilesubmarines provide the sea-based “leg” ofthe triad of U.S. strategic deterrent forces.The first four Ohio-class submarines arescheduled for conversion during the nextfive years to guided missile submarines(SSGN) with an additional capability totransport and support Navy special operations forces.

The aircraft carrier continues to be thecenterpiece of the forces necessary forforward presence. Whenever there

has been a crisis, the first question hasbeen: “Where are the carriers?” Carrierssupport and operate aircraft that engage inattacks on airborne, afloat, and ashoretargets that threaten free use of the sea;and engage in sustained operations insupport of other forces.

Aircraft carriers are deployed worldwidein support of U.S. interests and commit-ments. They can respond to global crises inways ranging from peacetime presence tofull-scale war. Together with their on-board air wings, the carriers have vitalroles across the full spectrum of conflict.

STRATEGIC STRIKE

Trident I (C-4) The Trident I replaced the Poseidon in

the Navy’s ballistic missile inventory. Itbecame operational in 1979 and is carriedon Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines.

Dimensions: 74 x 408 in.Weight: 73,000 lbs.Warhead: Designed to carry eightW76/MK 4 Propulsion: Cross-linked, double-basefuel rocket Range: 4,000 nm.Manufacturer: Lockheed-Martin

Trident II (D-5)Larger and with longer range than the

Trident I, the Trident II was first testedaboard a submarine in March 1989 anddeployed in 1990.

Dimensions: 83 x 528 in.Weight: 130,000 lbs.Warhead: Designed to carry 12 W76/MK4 or eight W88/MK 5Propulsion: Solid-fuel rocket Range: 4,000 nm.Manufacturer: Lockheed-Martin

GENERAL-PURPOSE BOMBS

The MK-80 series general-purposebomb family was created in the late 1940sand has been the standard air-launchedbomb for the services ever since. Thegeneral-purpose bomb family is designedto provide blast and fragmentation effectsand is used extensively in a number ofconfigurations including laser-guided bombs(LGBs), joint direct attack munitions (JDAM)and air-delivered mining applications. Theunguided versions of the general-purposebomb can also be delivered in freefall orretarded modes depending upon missionrequirements.

There were four basic versions of these

bombs in inventory for many years:– 250 pound MK-81,– 500 pound MK-82/BLU 111– 1,000 pound MK-83/BLU 110 and– 2,000 pound MK-84/BLU 117.

Production of the 250-pound general-purpose bomb has been discontinued andit is no longer carried in the active inventory.The remaining versions of the MK-80 seriesbombs are being converted from the MKdesignation to the bomb-loaded unit (BLU)designation during new production. TheNavy’s MK-80 series bombs remaining ininventory are filled with H-6 high explosive;the newer BLU series bombs incorporate aPBXN-109 explosive that provides lesssensitive characteristics and is consideredsafer to handle and stow.

Laser-Guided Bomb (LGB) KitsLaser-guided bomb kits were developed

to enhance the terminal accuracy of air-launched, general-purpose bombs andentered the fleet’s inventory in 1968 An LGBkit consists of a Computer Control Groupand Air Foil Group. The kit is normallyattached to a general-purpose bomb toform an LGB.

Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM)The JDAM is a guidance kit that converts

existing unguided bombs into precision-guided “smart” munitions. The tail sectioncontains an inertial navigational system(INS) and a global positioning system (GPS).JDAM improves the accuracy of unguidedbombs in any weather condition. It can beemployed from every Navy fighter-attackaircraft such as the AV-8B, F/A-18 and F-14.

Target coordinates can be loaded intothe aircraft before takeoff, manually beforeweapon release, and automatically enteredthrough target designation with onboardaircraft sensors.

Once released from the aircraft, theJDAM navigates to the target autonomously.In its most accurate mode the JDAM system

will have an error of less than 40 feet.JDAM enables multiple weapons to be

directed against single or multiple targetson a single pass. The weapon’s perfor-mance was demonstrated in 1999 duringOperation Allied Force, OperationsSouthern Watch and Enduring Freedom;and in Operation Iraqi Freedom, withexpenditures of more than 6,000 JDAMsagainst enemy targets.

JDAM provides the Navy with an all-weather, affordable, air-to-surfaceweapons with delivery accuracy exceedingrequirements.

Joint Stand-off Weapon (JSOW)The joint standoff weapon is an air-

launched “drop-and-forget” weapon that iscapable of approximately 40 nautical milestand-off ranges. JSOW provides the fleetwith a strike interdiction capability againstsoft targets such as fixed and relocatable airdefense elements, parked aircraft commandand control facilities, light combat vehicles,industrial elements and enemy troops.Currently, two variants of JSOW are planned:AGM-154A, that uses general-purposesubmunitions and JSOW C that employs aunitary type warhead.

Dimensions: 160 inches; box shapeddiameter 13 inches on a side; 106 incheswingspanWeight: From 1,065 pounds to 1,500 pounds Range: Low altitude launch – 15 nauticalmiles, High altitude launch – 65 nauticalmilesWarhead(s): BLU-97 – Combined effectsbomblets, BLU-108 – Sensor fusedweapon, Broach multi-stage warheadContractor: Raytheon Co.

HARM (High-Speed Anti-Radar Missile)HARM is the standard anti-radar missile

in the U.S. inventory. It’s used as both astrike-protection and anti-ship weapon.First deployed aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV63) in January 1984. First used in combatin April 1986 during raids on Libya.

Dimensions: 10 m x 13 ft. 7 in. x 44 in.wingspanWeight: 798 lbs.Warhead: 146 lbs.Range: Depends on launch speed/altitude Propulsion: Dual-thrust rocket motor(Mach 2+) Manufacturer: Raytheon

ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE(ASW) TORPEDOES

MK-46The MK 46 MOD 5A(S) torpedo

achieved its initial operational Capabilityand was introduced into the fleet in 1979.It can be launched from fixed and rotarywing aircraft and surface combatants VLAand torpedo tubes. Full-up MK 46 torpedoesare no longer being produced. In 1987, amajor upgrade program enhanced theperformance of the MK 46 Mod 5A(S) inshallow water.

A service life extension program wasinitiated in 1992 to extend the life of theMK 46 Mod 5A(S), convert it to the MK46 Mod 5A(SW), and to provide additionalshallow water and bottom avoidance modes.The MK 46 Mod 5A(SW) was introducedto the Fleet in 1996.

Dimensions: 8.5 ft. long, 12.75 in.diameterWeight: 512 lb.Range:: More than 8,000 yds.Speed: 45 KnotsPropulsion: Two-speed, reciprocationexternal combustionWarhead: 96 lbs. of PBXN-103Depth: Greater than 1,200 ft.Original Manufacturer: AlliantTechsystems, Honeywell

MK-48The MK-48 Torpedo is a long-range,

high-speed, deep-depth, wire-guidedacoustic homing weapon designed tocombat slow diesel submarines, fast, deepdiving nuclear submarines and high-performance surface ships and can becarried aboard all Navy submarines.Developed by the Applied ResearchLaboratory, Pennsylvania State University,and Westinghouse Electric Corporation,Baltimore, the MK-48 and its subsequentvariants have been in service with the Navysince 1972.

In 1975 an operational requirement wasissued by OPNAV to develop modificationsto the MK-48 to keep pace with threatadvancements. This development effortwas accelerated to neutralize the formerSoviet Alpha threat and resulted in theMK-48 MOD 4 that achieved InitialOperational Capability in 1980.

Additional efforts resulted in develop-ment of the digital advanced capability(ADCAP) MK-48 MOD 5 that is carriedby Los Angeles and Seawolf-class attacksubmarines and some Ohio-class ballisticmissile submarines. The MK-48 MOD 5became operational in 1988 and was

approved for production a year later.Although full-up torpedoes have not

been produced since 1994, modifications(ADCAP MODS) produced by NorthrupGrumman and Raytheon SystemsCorporation have enhanced its counter-measure rejection capability, increased itsguidance and control processing andmemory and improved its shallow watercapabilities. This newest variant is desig-nated the MK-48 MOD 6.
