This thesis will examine how Surface Warfare Officers (SWO)
received their initial post-commission training beginning with the
end of World War II and ending with the training program as of
September 2008. Specifically, this thesis examines the reasons why
there was no initial SWO training after commissioning and what
changed to require initial training. The discussion also addresses
the effects of changing the commissioning source to a mix of Naval
Academy, Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps and Officer Candidate
School. Additionally, the influence of technology and the bipolar
world of the Cold War will provide insight as to the
appropriateness of the initial training. Finally, the decision to
conduct most of the initial training onboard ship beginning in 2003
will be analyzed, especially in light of the decision in 2008 to
establish a four-week course in San Diego and Norfolk, which is
mandatory for all ensigns to attend immediately after reporting to
their ships. Although the world changed from the relatively simple
Cold War paradigm in the past twenty years, history provides us
with a means to understand why the Navy came to do business the way
it did. Understanding why things occurred as they did, leads to
lessons that will aid in making future decisions.
