As part of its ongoing program of developing new products for the capsuleer market, ORE has created the Bowhead freighter as a specialized ship transporter. Experience with the ship-handling technology used in the Orca and Rorqual vessels enabled the Outer Ring Development division to build a ship dedicated to moving multiple assembled hulls at once.
Outer Ring Excavations are aggressively marketing the Bowhead as a flexible transport platform for organizing fleet logistics across New Eden, available from authorized ORE outlets.

what's this?
Base Time to Warp is essentially the time needed for this ship to align and accelerate until it reaches 75% of its top speed and goes to warp. The time displayed here is the base calculated time with no account for any warp related skills, modules or any other effects.

Summary
The Bowhead was devised as a "high-sec carrier". It has the ability to carry fitted ships in its Ship Maintenance Bay, making it useful for incursion runners who regularly need to move a few ships from location to location, such as if they have a damage dealer ship, a logistics ship, and a hacking frigate. However, the Bowhead is fairly slow, and can be easily suicide ganked if enough people can be gathered up. Fly it at your own risk!
Skills
You will want to train navigation support skills, along with tanking support skills while flying a Bowhead.
