The Sonar Technician (Surface) rating was established in the U.S. Navy in 1943 during World War II. It was created to operate and maintain sonar equipment used to detect submarines and other underwater threats. The rating has since evolved to include the use of advanced technology in detecting and analyzing underwater targets.

What does stgc mean in us navy ranks?
STG is the rate, or job, of that person. In this case, it is a Sonar Technician - Surface. They work on the sonar suite of a surface vessel (ie, a ship). The "C" gives that person's rank, which in this case is a Chief Petty Officer. If it was a Senior Chief Sonar Tech, they would be STGCS. If it were a 3rd Class Petty Officer, they would be STG3. The Sonar Tech rating is actually divided between surface and submarine technicians. STS stand for "Sonar Technician, Submarines", where STG stands for "Sonar Technician, Guns", indicating a surface rate.
What is a sts1 in the us navy?
STS1 is my old rate/rank, and one of the best in the Navy if you're on a fast-attack submarine. The STS stands for "Sonar Technician (Submarines) - the 1 is the rank, for First Class Petty Officer. Submarine and Surface Sonar Techs have different rate designations, as their school training pipeline is different. Surface Sonar designation is STG, for Sonar Technician(Guns).

What is the Naval abbreviation for Submarine Sonar Technician?
The designation for my old rate is "STS", which literally stands for "Sonar Technician, Submarines". Yours truly was an STS1/SS during the top years of the Cold War. Check my bio page for pics. The Submarine Sonar community is an oddity in the Navy in that it is separate from the Surface Sonar community, though both share the same rate insignia and Naval lineage. Both have similar missions concerning ASW, but Submarine Sonar and Sonar Tech operations aboard a submarine are critical to submarine operations, whereas it's an ancillary function aboard a surface ship. The rate insignia is denoted by a pair of headphones. The surface equivalent, "STG", stands for "Sonar Technician, Guns".

That's a rate designation I've not seen in many years.SOG2 is one of the earliest designations for a U.S. Navy Sonarman. There were several designations, the original just being "Soundman" (SoM):SO - SonarmanSOG - Sonarman (Sonar)SOH - Sonarman (Harbor Defense)SoM - Sonarman (Soundman)SOMH - Sonarman (Harbor Defense)While not specifically stated in U.S. Navy historical archives, the "G" likely stands for "Guns" as the current surface sonar rate, "STG", stands for "Sonar Technician, Guns". This is to differentiate between surface and submarine sonar rates, which share the same principles of Sonar, but vastly different tactics and equipment.The equivalent submarine rating (my old rate) is STS, or Sonar Technician, Submarines.The "2" after the SOG refers to the sailor's rank, in this case a 2nd Class Petty Officer.
