Description: Shipped USPS First Class Mail unless it falls on Saturday, Sunday, or holiday in which case I will ship on the following business day. A sonobuoy (a portmanteau of sonar and buoy) is a small expendable sonar buoy dropped from aircraft or ships for anit-submarine warfare or underwater acoustic research. Sonobuoys are typically around 13 cm (5 in) in diameter and 91 cm (3 ft) long. When floating on the water, sonobuoys have both a radio transmitter above the surface and hydrophone sensors underwater. Sonobuoys are ejected from aircraft in canisters and deploy upon water impact. An inflatable surface float with a radio transmitter remains on the surface for communication with the aircraft, while one or more hydrophone sensors and stabilizing equipment descend below the surface to a selected depth that is variable, depending on environmental conditions and the search pattern. The buoy relays acoustic information from its hydrophone(s) via UHF/VHF radio to operators on board the aircraft.Sticker is 4"x4" (Waterproof and scratchproof durable laminate vinyl that won't get damaged by liquids) The Fine Print: Payment is due with 48 Hours of Auction’s end, or moment of purchase. I'll pack the item carefully and get it in the mail promptly after receiving payment (occasionally, in mere hours!) I generally frown on returns, as this isn’t a business. However, if I’ve misrepresented something (even after looking carefully… it occasionally happens!), please contact me so we can work it out. Thanks, oldbzrdphil
