What is the weight and material of the crown buoy?

The crown buoy is designed for substantial underwater operations and needs to provide stability and support in challenging environments. Weighing 1,100 lbs, it is constructed from steel, which is a durable and resilient material ideal for withstanding the stresses associated with underwater rescue scenarios. Steel offers significant tensile strength and resistance to deformation, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications where safety and effectiveness are paramount.

Additionally, the weight of 1,100 lbs ensures that the buoy remains buoyant yet stable, preventing it from being easily displaced by currents or wave action during rescue operations. The choice of steel not only enhances the structural integrity of the crown buoy but also ensures that it can endure prolonged exposure to various marine conditions without compromising its performance. This combination of weight and material is critical for maintaining the operational efficacy of the buoy during undersea rescue missions.
