(From left to right) Mr. Ron Thorp, board member of the Hancock County Historical Society, Dr. William Burnett, Director of the National Data Bouy Center, Mr. Robert Rhodes, Supervisory Oceanographer at the Naval Research Laboratory, and Capt. Douglas Pearman, commander of the Naval Oceanographic Office, provided a compelling narrative of the naval oceanographic field's transformation during a panel discussion at the 50th Anniversary of Navy on Stennis ceremony on April 7, 2026. They traced the journey from the era of analog charting and manual forecasting to the current data-driven, globally networked enterprise, underscoring the ever-increasing importance of environmental intelligence in an era of complex global threats.
Naval Oceanography is a global force of approximately 2,900 military and civilian personnel. These dedicated professionals collect, process, and exploit environmental information from the seabed to the stars, enabling the Fleet and Joint Force to operate with confidence and precision across all domains - from the seabed to the stars.
