The Junior Officer of the Deck Course

The Junior Officer of the Deck course at Center for Surface Combat System's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Training Facility in San Diego challenges students with a comprehensive course of instruction to develop the necessary skills to provide critical assistance during all shiphandling and bridge evolutions. Junior officers and senior enlisted with limited shiphandling experience undergo eight weeks of intensive classroom and simulation training to prepare them for the rigorous demands of the two-person watch team construct on littoral combat ships.
