James Kilby, commander, Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center (SMWDC), speaks with junior surface warfare officers during a ship tour and professional mentorship wardroom call aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. During the wardroom call, Kilby spoke to the junior officers about the new generation of surface warfare tactical experts known as warfare tactics instructors (WTIs), and how they work to enhance mission critical skill sets in such warfare areas as amphibious operations, integrated air and missile defense, or a combination of anti-submarine and surface warfare. SMWDC headquarters was formally established June 2015 at Naval Base San Diego and is responsible for increasing the tactical proficiency of individual surface warfare communities through the creation of warfare doctrine, underway assessment exercises and Warfare Tactics Instructors.
