SAN DIEGO, Calif. —Rear Adm. Ron Piret, Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (CNMOC) gave an address as a co-keynote speaker and participated in an in-depth panel discussion during the San Diego-based ocean science, technology, and engineering conference—Oceanology International Americas (OiA) 2023, Feb. 14-16. Piret highlighted challenges and successes of the Naval Oceanography workforce family, comprised of 2,500 Sailors and Civilians, who are experts on everything science from the ocean floor to the farthest known star; using that expertise as a critical part of our nation’s Navy. “At Sea, we are the subject matter experts to explain the environment and protect our naval forces,” said Piret. “[D]ata and discoveries made are collected by Naval Oceanography to inform strategic, operational, and tactical decision-makers to maximize lethality in the selection of platform, weapon, sensors, and area of engagement at the time and place of our choosing.”
