What should be done to the buoy launchers during aft firefighting duties?

During aft firefighting duties, leaving the buoy launchers untouched is crucial. These launchers are part of the ship's emergency equipment designed for specific purposes, such as deploying buoys for navigation or distress signaling. Interfering with them during a firefighting situation could inadvertently compromise their functionality in an emergency.

Maintaining the integrity and readiness of all emergency equipment is vital, especially in situations involving firefighting where the risk of further emergencies is present. Any unnecessary interaction could distract team members from their primary firefighting tasks or lead to unintended consequences during an already chaotic scenario. Hence, it is essential to leave the buoy launchers as they are until their specific use is warranted, ensuring that they remain available and operational for when they are needed most.
