MARAD: U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) and the Navy's Inactive Fleet are two separate entities. MARAD is not a Navy facility, but is under the Department of Transportation (DOT).

MARAD maintains the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) as a ready source of ships for use during national emergencies and assists in fulfilling its traditional role as the nation's fourth arm of defense in logistically supporting the military when needed.
