ocean surface vehicle

An ocean surface vehicle is a type of craft that operates on the surface of the ocean, such as boats, ships, or autonomous drones. These vehicles are designed for various purposes, including research, transportation, surveillance, and environmental monitoring. They can be manned or unmanned and often carry instruments to collect data about ocean conditions, marine life, and weather. Ocean surface vehicles play a crucial role in exploring and understanding marine environments, supporting maritime activities, and ensuring the safety of naval operations. Their designs vary from small remote-controlled crafts to large research vessels.
