The Coast Gu ard and the Navy use the MK 58 mod 1. The marker is launched from aircraft in either day or night to mark the course of enemy submarines in antisubmarine warfare operations. Markers may be used launched from high-speed aircraft or helicopters. They can be used for any type of air to sea surface marking that are referenced by smoke and flame. A marker consists of an aluminum body, approximately 21.78 inches in length and 5.03 inches in diameter, weighing approximately 11.5 lbs. The center of gravity sho uld be 7.93 inches from the base end of the marker. It is activated upon entry into the seawater and produces yellow flame and white smoke for a minimum of 40 minutes and maximum of 60 minutes.
