The Fleet-class unmanned surface vessel, also called the Common Unmanned Surface Vessel (CUSV) and later the Mine Countermeasures Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MCM USV),[2] is an unmanned surface vessel designed for the United States Navy to be deployed from Freedom and Independence-class littoral combat ships[3] and intended to conduct mine and anti-submarine warfare missions. As of 2012[update] four units of the class have been built; the first was delivered to the U.S. Navy in 2008.
