fog-buoy, a small
buoy that, before the days of
radar, was towed
astern at the end of a long
grass-line by naval vessels when steaming in line
ahead in thick fog. This gave an indication to the next ship astern of the distance away of the ship next ahead in the line, thus providing a means of retaining formation. When fog-buoys were in use, they were said to be
streamed.
