Strategic Sealift

Strategic Sealift refers to the organized movement of large ships that transport military equipment, supplies, and personnel across oceans during times of war or national emergency. These ships operate under government or military control to ensure crucial resources reach deployed forces quickly and reliably. Think of it as a vital logistical backbone, enabling a country’s military to operate globally, maintaining readiness and security. Strategic sealift complements active naval forces by providing the heavy lifting needed to sustain military operations far from home shores.
