Navy Missile Technician – MT

Navy Missile Technicians are responsible for the safety, security, and maintenance of the Trident 2 D5 missile, managing every valve and component of the weapon system aboard submarines. The role covers hydraulic and high-pressure systems, electrical work, and training drills, including launch countdowns.

Technicians also handle casualties such as broken bolts, ruptures, or electrical overheating, and manage systems that rapidly bring on water to compensate for the buoyancy change after a missile launch. The job requires a high level of trust and is described as a small, bonding community.
