Ghost Fleet Overlord is being developed by the Department of Defense’s Strategic Capabilities Office. [1] It is a partnership between the Defense Department's Strategic Capabilities Office and the Navy. [2]
As of January 2024, the fleet consists of four ships delivered. The first is USV Ranger, [3] the second is USV Nomad, [1] the third is USV Mariner, [4] and the fourth is USV Vanguard, launched on January 15, 2024. [5]
