SpaceX
SpaceX maintains a large fleet of commercial ships to support its spaceflight recovery operations in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and the Gulf of Mexico. The company routinely lands Falcon 9 first stages offshore, recovers fairing halves from the ocean surface (valued at $3 million each), and Dragon capsules with Astronauts and cargo on board.
