Some sailors track the threat. Fire Controlmen eliminate it.
The Navy Fire Controlman (FC) rating badge on this hoodie represents the weapons systems specialists who stand watch over the fleet's most advanced combat systems — from Aegis radar arrays to close-in weapons systems — calculating firing solutions and putting steel on target when it matters most.

The Rate Behind the Badge
Established in 1941 when the complexity of fire control systems demanded dedicated specialists, the FC rating has grown into one of the Navy's most technically demanding. Today's Fire Controlmen master radar theory, Aegis Combat System operations, missile fire control, CIWS, and the sensor-to-weapon integration that makes a ship a lethal platform. During general quarters, they are the ones at the weapons control stations — calm, precise, decisive.
Whether you served as an FC, are honoring one, or simply respect the technical warriors who keep the fleet combat-ready — this hoodie carries that legacy.
Fire Controlman. Weapons systems experts. Steel on target. Anchors Aweigh.
Ideal for: Navy FC rating sailors & veterans, weapons systems specialists, combat systems technicians, military families, and everyday wear.
