Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Distress buoy

Nokalon buoys, multi-colored and depth rated. We even used them to add temporary payload to the subs when toting something heavy. A great addition to anyone's submarine junk box. Once you get a few, you will wonder how the hell you ever operated without them.

Trawl floats would make excellent bouys.  They’re cheap and some are rated for a couple of thousand feet.

Looks good Frank,
Hope the buoys not compressible & doesn't jettison itself at depth.
I bought some small rare earth magnets recently. Man are they powerful.
I wonder if they could be used for a buoy release system & save another
through hull. I think they use them in microwaves.. You could pick them
up for nothing.

I made a little sketch of how I imagine my distress buoy might look. It's like most things, when fabrication actually happens, things change.
