TM - Torpedoman's Mate
If it launches beneath the waves, there’s probably a Torpedoman’s Mate behind it. These Sailors put the fire in firepower, maintaining, preparing and launching a variety of ordnance on submarines. As a weapons system specialist, you’re in charge of everything from torpedoes and missiles to the small arms and ammunition on board the boat. Whether you’re performing maintenance on launching and firing systems, preparing weapons for launch or conducting fire routines, it takes a skilled, steady hand to keep the sub safe.
