The craft is controlled by Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare Unit (MIUW), which provides surface and subsurface surveillance around harbor and coastal regions and has TACON of IBU patrol craft. Naval Coastal Warfare Squadron (NCWRON) is the controlling authority that overseas the operations of various harbor units including MIUW and IBU. The Squadron takes the information that MIUW processes and forwards it to higher command. With the three units combined, U.S. interests world-wide near harbor areas and coastal regions are better supported and protected under this Naval Coastal Warfare umbrella. UNCLAS 12 JAN 05
