Introduction
Being a Warfare Specialist (Submariner) means working with some of the most advanced computer systems available to identify, track and, if required, destroy potential threats. This will involve the covert monitoring of all other vessels (surface and sub-surface, friend or foe) within range of the advanced array of different sensors onboard.
About the Employer
The Royal Navy (RN) is responsible for the protection of British interests at home and around the World. 95% of all world trade passes through the high seas and every year Britain imports £524 billion worth of goods. The RN takes an active part in the protection of British Shipping. Around the United Kingdom the RN protects vital fishing stocks by monitoring fishing activities in our waters.
What You’ll Do
You will work as an integral member of the Ship’s Company and a proud representative of the Submarine Service, operating the various Tactical systems assisting in all aspects of submarine warfare. When on the surface you will act as the Radar operator and, as part of the Ship’s Protection Force, be trained in the use of weaponry such as the 5.56 mm rifle and General-Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), designed to protect the submarine and its Ship’s Company in all areas around the globe. Using your expert knowledge gained during world‑class training, you will use some of our most advanced equipment to identify and track any contact (friend or foe), passing your assessments to the Warfare Officer who will use them to make key decisions. Whether you’re at sea providing our nation’s nuclear deterrent, hunting other submarines or on exercise in domestic waters, the work you do is vital to the navigation and warfare capabilities of your submarine.
