There are very few US-flagged ships used in merchant trade.
What there is is a shipping “pool” owned by multiple ship owners or leased by shipping companies, from investment pools of ship owners - think hedge funds. All these ships fly flags of convenience.

“Our” is literally correct though, as the owners, ultimately, are very likely to include US citizens or entities, among others of course. And then there are the cargoes.
