That type of buoy is?

It's really, as annotated, poor old Olive who wished to be buried at sea with that 'Fifty Shades' guy (the one with all the sunglasses) on top of her. Regrettably, the funeral director hadn't been paying attention the day Mr Archimedes was discussed at school. Elementary

AR1 - That's not a preferred value, you should know that. Back to 2T Block you go and stay awake this time.
Sorry, not very helpful to the original question.
Edit to say oops I wrong, yes it is!

From the resistor colour coding its 475 'something' Ohms - I cant see the multiplier or tolerance bands as they are underwater.
... You never forget
Now I need to go find some N!ggers Dick
I know what it is! With the main body being 6" by 4", it is the new lightweight micro-buoy for out-of-practice NCA to be able to load easily on the new MPA. Procurement has designed the buoy first and will build the airframe around it (in about.... 'harrumph' years); new iterations of the buoy will get progressively bigger and heavier. The 30" 'Areial' with button is the 'Arm-Reach Extending Innovative Aircraft Loading' handle to avoid dropping it into the pressurised launchers and damaging it, or the pressure doors. Wasn't me who told you, right!

Erm.
The captions have been written using a ruler to prevent the biro from wandering. I only ever saw stackers using that technique.

I am quite literally a 'pen pusher' , whereas you are presumably a puller of something.

You are clearly not a leftie, spare a thought for those of us who cannot even see what we have just written because it is covered up by our [left] hand.

The top part is the aerial, the shiny bit that completes things between the people on the other end receiving and the "lead-in" (the not so shiny bit that connects the aerial to the sender's transmitting gubbins). The antenna is the entire system or assembly (ie; the aerial and the lead-in). To receive, you only need an aerial, because in sepia years, your wireless (another description that has changed) radio didn't even have a transmitter gubbins thing.
During the inter war years, the government dictated that a commercial aerial and lead-in to be no longer that 100ft combined because it knew that the lead-in part radiated and it didn't want its ships sunk by sneaky coastal and convoy watchers. These days though, meanings and definitions have moved and blurred to the point of irrelevance, 'wireless', for instance doesn't mean what it once did. To give you hope, I stand by to be corrected though.
Hours of fun was once had using farm chicken wire on Salisbury Plain on various signals courses chatting to places over the world. Skills came in handy one Xmas Eve though; using 25 metres of farm fence* and PRC 352, by trial and error we eventually got a signal from N Bosnia to the lovely ladies of BT Portishead Radio, who kindly patched us through to our families for a surprise 5 minute phone call each. Working with 2 Scaleys helped and no phone set up for the troops back then of course. Scaley, or Scaleyback was the nickname given to army signallers who had their backs fried by early portable transmission gear.
* From the urgent tone of your contribution, I'm guessing this sort of detail is really important so for the sake of peace of mind, the old farm fence was wire and not wooden.
