Little Creek, Va. (Oct. 14, 2016). Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Emonson of the Royal Australian Navy listens to the opening remarks during a graduation ceremony for the second class of amphibious Warfare Tactics Instructors at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. Emonson made history as the first foreign-allied naval officer to graduate from the course. Akin to Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOP GUN) for the Navy's best aviators, the Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center is charged with increasing the tactical proficiency of the surface fleet by selecting an elite cadre of surface warfare officers to become warfare tactics instructors (WTI) -- the tactical best of the best. WTIs come from three communities: integrated air and missile defense, amphibious warfare, and anti-submarine/anti-surface warfare.
