220916 FT/STS ‘A’ School graduation
The U.S. Naval Submarine School hosted a gradation ceremony for students in the FT and STS ‘A’ schools on the U.S. Naval Submarine Base New London, Sept. 16, 2022.
Fire Control Technicians (FT) perform organizational and intermediate level maintenance on submarine combat control systems equipment; operate submarine combat control systems; test submarine combat control systems; operate and maintain combat control systems associated systems; participate in weapons handling functions; and operate and maintain non-tactical computer systems and peripherals.
The Navy STS "A" School offers extensive training in the operation of advanced sonar equipment to quietly track contacts that may be lying beneath the waves. Sea surveillance is essential to navigation, so they will be able to track everything from enemy ships to marine life, while directing the boat accordingly.
