___________________________________

This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information contained in the prospectus dated September 12, 2023 (the “Prospectus”), with the information contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 22, 2024 (the “Current Report”). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report to this prospectus supplement.

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the resale or other disposition from time to time by the selling securityholders named in the Prospectus or their permitted transferees (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to an aggregate 1,890,066 shares (“Resale Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Nauticus Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and, together with the Selling Securityholders, the “RRA Parties”). The Resale Shares were issued to the Selling Securityholders pursuant to and in consideration of the RRA Parties’ agreements set forth in the RRA Amendment (as defined in the Prospectus), including with respect to and in full satisfaction of certain liquidated damages provided for under the RRA (as defined in the Prospectus).

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Resale Shares and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales (if any) of the Resale Shares.

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, any may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “KITT.” The closing price of our Common Stock on April 29, 2024 was $0.20 per share.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
