Naval Oceanographic Office

The Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) is a U.S. military organization that studies and maps the world’s oceans, seas, and coastlines. Its work provides crucial information about water depths, currents, temperature, and other ocean conditions. This data helps in navigation, submarine operations, maritime safety, and environmental monitoring. NAVOCEANO collaborates with scientists, ships, and satellites to gather accurate, up-to-date ocean knowledge, supporting both military and civilian maritime activities. Essentially, it ensures ships can navigate safely and efficiently by understanding the complex and dynamic ocean environment.
