SOM training is available in two forms, the SOM Field Course and the SUPSHIP Operations Seminar. The Field Course is a 3 day course given at least once annually at each SUPSHIP and SUPSHIP detachment. The SOM Operations Seminar is a 4-hour session given at NAVSEA headquarters. This seminar provides an overview of SUPSHIP functions and responsibilities in overseeing ship design and construction projects. The course is scheduled on an "as-needed" basis.
