151217-N-CU914-093 (December 17, 2015) -- Lt. Cmdr. Chris Kennedy, Integrated Air and Missile Defense Warfare Tactics Instructor (IAMDWTI) at Afloat Training Group San Diego, explains the process to become a warfare tactics instructor (WTI) with training from Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center (SMWDC) to junior officers aboard USS Decatur (DDG 73). Akin to 'Top Gun' for naval aviators, SMWDC is increasing the tactical proficiency of the surface warfare community by plucking an elite cadre of surface warfare officers (SWO) to become specialized warfighters called WTIs.
