Why the MV Ocean Trader is called the 'Special Ops Mothership'

Tavsif:

The MV Ocean Trader doesn’t look like much. No hull number. No weapons. No press releases. But this U.S.-leased cargo ship is actually a floating special operations base, and right now, it’s operating in the Caribbean. Task & Purpose confirmed the Ocean Trader’s location with Military Sealift Command, and while U.S. Special Operations Command isn’t saying what it’s doing, we dug into what this ship is, how it was converted, and what kinds of missions it’s built to support. From helicopter hangars to drone launchers and Zodiac bays, this commercial-looking vessel hides a whole lot of tactical punch. It’s been spotted near hotspots from Diego Garcia to St. Kitts, and it’s part of a growing class of low‑profile military platforms designed for stealthy operations. This video breaks down everything we know — and what we don’t — about the Ocean Trader, and what it might be doing as the US and Venezuela continue to stare each other down in the Caribbean.
