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.
