Officially Licensed US Navy Maritime Weapons School Leather Patch — Maritime Weapons School Leather Patch
Where the Navy's best become even deadlier—the Maritime Weapons School, training the tactical experts who bring the fight to threats above, on, and below the surface.
The Maritime Weapons School is a United States Navy advanced training institution dedicated to producing the Navy's most tactically proficient warfare specialists. The school provides advanced weapons and tactics training that develops the next generation of tactical leaders across multiple warfare domains—from anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare to mine countermeasures and maritime domain awareness. Graduates return to their fleet squadrons and commands as weapons and tactics experts, responsible for training their units and driving tactical innovation throughout the naval aviation and surface warfare communities.
The Maritime Weapons School concept mirrors the Marine Corps' Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) course and the Air Force's Weapons School at Nellis Air Force Base—all three services have recognized the need for dedicated institutions that produce tactical experts who can raise the combat proficiency of their entire communities. The school's curriculum combines classroom instruction in weapons employment, threat analysis, and tactical decision-making with intensive flight-based or simulator-based training scenarios that replicate the complexity and lethality of modern maritime combat.
