Which FLTNOC provide SCI service to the fleet?

• A. Hawaii
• B. Norfolk
• C. Hawaii, Norfolk
• D. San Diego

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that SCI-based communications are handled by designated Fleet Telecommunications Operations Centers that have the secure infrastructure, personnel, and procedures to protect sensitive, compartmentalized information. SCI stands for Sensitive Compartmented Information, which requires strict access controls, classification handling, and secure networks. Because the fleet operates globally, these services must be available in multiple strategic hubs to ensure coverage and redundancy.

Hawaii and Norfolk are the two centers tasked with providing SCI service to the fleet. Their locations in the Pacific and Atlantic theaters allow secure, authenticated communications to ships and units wherever they are deployed, ensuring that sensitive information can be shared securely across the fleet. Other FLTNOCs deliver the standard fleet networking and non-SCI services, but the SCI environment itself is anchored at these two hubs to meet the stringent security requirements and reach across the fleet.
