Masters of Naval Communications and IT
Information Systems Technician (IT) is a rating for United States Navy and United States Coast Guard enlisted personnel, specializing in communications technology. The IT rating corresponds to Navy Occupational Specialty (NOS) code B460 for surface fleet personnel, while Information Systems Technician Submarines (ITS) corresponds to NOS code C260.
IT personnel operate and maintain information systems, communications equipment, computer networks, and the technology infrastructure that enables naval operations. They manage network administration, cybersecurity, satellite communications, radio systems, databases, and the information systems that support command and control, intelligence sharing, and operational coordination across the fleet.
Enabling Network-Centric Warfare
Information Systems Technicians are essential to modern naval operations, which depend on the rapid and secure exchange of information. IT personnel maintain the networks that connect ships to shore commands, enable tactical data sharing between units, support intelligence operations, and provide the communications backbone for coordinated operations. They troubleshoot network problems, maintain cybersecurity defenses, manage user accounts and permissions, and ensure that all IT systems function reliably.
IT technicians work with advanced networking equipment, satellite communications systems, cryptographic devices, radio systems, and computer hardware and software. They maintain Internet and Intranet websites, manage databases, create multimedia presentations, and provide technical support to shipboard personnel. Their expertise ensures that commanders have the information they need to make decisions and that units can communicate effectively in any operational environment.
Information Systems Technicians also play a critical role in cybersecurity, defending Navy networks from cyber threats and ensuring that sensitive information remains secure. They monitor networks for intrusions, implement security measures, and respond to cyber incidents, protecting the information systems that are vital to naval operations.
Whether you are an Information Systems Technician, want to honor an IT rating sailor, or appreciate the critical role that communications and IT systems play in naval operations, this t-shirt represents technical excellence, dedication, and the connectivity that enables the fleet to operate as a coordinated force.
