- A research vessel (RV or R/V) is a voidship designed, modified, or equipped to carry out research at sea or in space. Research vessels carry out a number of roles. Some of these roles can be combined into a single vessel but others require a dedicated vessel. Due to the demanding nature of the work, research vessels are often constructed around an aquatic hull, allowing them to operate in deep waters besides the depths of space.
