Re: Facilities to change names

That makes sense. I don't know if CUS is going to change their name, but undersea surveillance...? Yes, Ocean Surveillance makes more sense as it's air, surface, and subsurface and the average Joe might not necessarily equate air with undersea.

I'd hate to hear people say "osif" (OSF)...doesn't really roll off the tongue.

How about Pacific Ocean Surveillance Center...or just POS? nah...I don't think that would fly...

Find Those Nukes at Pacific Ocean Surveillance! FTN at POS!*

*But I digress...

Re: Facilities to change names

I got in a lot of trouble, a long time ago, for using "Find That Nuke" that way. :(

But it was funny so kind of worth it at the time.

Re: Facilities to change names

How about "Undersea Surveillance Center" or "Undersea Surveillance Operations Center"?

Re: Facilities to change names

I've always felt the terms Naval Facility (NAVFAC) and Naval Ocean Processing Facility (NOPF) never really encapsulated our true "Acoustic Warrior" ethos.

How about:

Naval Undersea Acoustic Warfare Command, Atlantic/Pacific (NUAWCLANT/NUAWCPAC)
or
Naval Undersea Acoustic Warfare Facility, Atlantic/Pacific (NUAWFLANT/NUAWFPAC)

Headquarters would become Commander, Undersea Acoustic Warfare (COMNAUW)

My 2 cents.
