February 12, 2025 VIA EDGAR Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance Office of Technology 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Attention: Mariam Mansaray Jan Woo Re: Nauticus Robotics, Inc. Registration Statement of Form S-3 Filed February 3, 2025 File No. 333-284675 SEC Comment Letter dated February 10, 2025 Dear Mmes. Mansaray and Woo: Nauticus Robotics, Inc.(“Nautiucs”, the “Registrant” or the “Company”), is submitting via EDGAR for review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this response letter to the Registrant’s above-referenced Registration Statement of Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”). This letter reflects the Registrant’s respectful acknowledgement and response to the comments received from the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) contained in the Staff’s letter dated February 10, 2025 (the “Comment Letter”), and certain other updated information. The Staff’s comments as reflected in the Comment Letter are reproduced in italics in this letter, and the corresponding responses of the Registrant are shown below each comment. Registration Statement of Form S-3 filed February 3, 2025 Cover Page 1. It appears that you may be relying on General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 to register this offering. If true, in accordance with Instruction 7 to General Instruction I.B.6, please set forth on the outside front cover of the prospectus the calculation of the aggregate market value of your outstanding voting and non-voting common equity and the amount of all securities offered pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on, and includes, the date of this prospect. Response: The Company respectfully informs the Staff that the Company intended to rely on General Instruction I.B.1 of Form S-3 to register this offering, because the aggregate market value of the common stock held by non-affiliates of the Company was over $75 million within 60 days prior to the date of the filing of the Form S-3.

Mmes. Mansaray and Woo Securities and Exchange Commission February 12, 2025 Page 2 On January 6, 2025, the closing price of the common stock of the Company was $4.86 per share. On January 16, 2025, there were 15,673,216 outstanding shares of common stock held by non-affiliates. Computed based on these two numbers, the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock was $76,171,829.76. Therefore, the Company would qualify to rely on General Instruction I.B.1 of the Form S-3 to register this offering. General 2. We note that your current report on Form 8-K filed 1/6/2025 (date of event: 12/27/2024) appears to be one day late. General Instruction I.A.3.(b) of Form S-3 requires that a registrant has timely filed all required reports during the last twelve months. Please advise why you believe that you are eligible to file on Form S-3. Response: The Company respectfully informs the Staff that the Company believes that this January 6, 2025 Form 8-K contained disclosure items that either (1) would not impact the S-3 eligibility; or (2) were already disclosed in prior 8-Ks. In particular, pursuant to General Instructions I.A.3(b) to the Form S-3, the following Form 8-K Items are excluded from the S-3 eligibility requirements: Item 1.01, 1.02, 2.03. The January 6, 2025 Form 8-K reported the closing of the exchange of certain debentures to Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, under the following Items: Item 1.01, 1.02, 2.03, 3.02, 3.03 and 5.03. We believe the first three Items (Item 1.01, 1.02 and 2.03) would be excluded from the termination of S-3 eligibility. The events that triggered the remaining Items (Item 3.02, 3.03 and 5.03) were ‘previously reported’ (as defined in Rule 12b-2) on a timely basis on Form 8-Ks. Specifically, regarding the Item 3.02 (Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities), we believe the trigger would be the “sale” of the preferred stock, which happened on the execution of the Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company and certain institutional investors, as ‘previously reported’ (as defined in Rule 12b-2) on a timely basis by the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 5, 20241. Regarding the Item 3.03 (Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders) and Item 5.03 (Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year), we believe the trigger was the amendment to the charter by the filing of the Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock, as ‘previously reported’ (as defined in Rule 12b-2) on a timely basis by the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 27, 20242. Moreover, the Company is requesting a filing date adjustment to this January 6, 2025 Form 8-K due to technical difficulties with the EDGAR filing process, out of the Company’s control on the original due date. The Company is working with the staff in the Office of Information Technology, Division of Corporation Finance for this request. A detailed description of the technical difficulties is below: 1 For the November 5, 2024 Form 8-K, please see https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1849820/000184982024000256/kitt-20241104.htm. 2 For the December 27, 2024 Form 8-K, please see https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001849820/000184982024000292/kitt-20241227.htm.

Mmes. Mansaray and Woo Securities and Exchange Commission February 12, 2025 Page 3 On January 3, 2025, the General Counsel of the Company attempted to submit the Form 8-K through a third party filing agent Workiva’s tool. However, due to a technical error in the process of filing, the XBRL tagging function returned error messages through multiple filing attempts, which prevented the Company from transmission of the filing before the 5:30pm EST cut-off time. Please see attached the various attempted transmission records in Appendix A, which showed that various attempted transmissions happened before the 5:30pm EST cut-off time, and the good faith efforts of the Company to timely file. The XBRL tagging function finally resolved the issue later that day and the filing was made on January 3, 2025 into the EDGAR system at 6:52 pm EST, before the 10:00 pm EST receiving cut-off time. Based on the above circumstances and analysis, we respectfully request the Staff to concur that this Form 8-K would not impact the Company’s S-3 eligibility. * * * We hope that the foregoing has been helpful to the Staff’s understanding of Nauticus’ disclosure and that the disclosure modifications in Amendment No. 1 are satisfactory to the Staff. If you have any questions or comments about this letter or need any further information, please call the undersigned at (832) 266 8926. Very Truly Yours By: /s/ John Symington John Symington, General Counsel of the Company cc: John Gibson (Nauticus Robotics, Inc.)

Washington, D.C. 20549      Attention:   Mariam Mansaray         Jan Woo    Re:    Nauticus Robotics, Inc.  Registration Statement of Form S-3  Filed February 3, 2025  File No. 333-284675  SEC Comment Letter dated February 10, 2025    Dear Mmes. Mansaray and Woo:     Nauticus Robotics, Inc.(“Nautiucs”, the “Registrant” or the “Company”), is submitting via EDGAR  for review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this response letter to the  Registrant’s above-referenced Registration Statement of Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”).  This  letter reflects the Registrant’s respectful acknowledgement and response to the comments received from  the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) contained in the Staff’s letter dated February 10, 2025 (the  “Comment Letter”), and certain other updated information.      The Staff’s comments as reflected in the Comment Letter are reproduced in italics in this letter, and  the corresponding responses of the Registrant are shown below each comment.      Registration Statement of Form S-3 filed February 3, 2025     Cover Page    1. It appears that you may be relying on General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 to register this offering.  If true, in accordance with Instruction 7 to General Instruction I.B.6, please set forth on the outside  front cover of the prospectus the calculation of the aggregate market value of your outstanding  voting and non-voting common equity and the amount of all securities offered pursuant to General  Instruction I.B.6 during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on, and includes, the date of  this prospect.  Response: The Company respectfully informs the Staff that the Company intended to rely on General  Instruction I.B.1 of Form S-3 to register this offering, because the aggregate market value of the common  stock held by non-affiliates of the Company was over $75 million within 60 days prior to the date of the  filing of the Form S-3.

Mmes. Mansaray and Woo  Securities and Exchange Commission  February 12, 2025  Page 2      On January 6, 2025, the closing price of the common stock of the Company was $4.86 per share.

General Instruction I.A.3.(b) of Form S-3 requires that a registrant has timely  filed all required reports during the last twelve months.

Response:   The Company respectfully informs the Staff that the Company believes that this January 6,  2025 Form 8-K contained disclosure items that either (1) would not impact the S-3 eligibility; or (2) were  already disclosed in prior 8-Ks.
