Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] safety systems

Perhaps marker buoys on all subs, period.  It appears to be little overhead for large gain even as a backup for a sub with tracking ability.  However, rather than an unofficial list let's do this via our guidelines RFC procedure so we have a record of both the proposal and vote, and can then make it part of our official guidelines.  Some of the things you've mentioned we may want to be mandatory equipment, others optional.

All,

Some of the psubs have emergency marker buoys installed. I think that should be another tool on all subs that operate without the benefit of tracking systems and the like, which is most of us. It's another thing that should be considered in the planning stages, but could also be an add-on. Maybe we ought to start a list: Drop weights; jettisonable thrusters; marker buoy; good communications, emergency life support, etc.
