一个稳定的海上实验平台一直是航海科学家们长期追求的目标。为了对海洋中声波信号的波动进行精细实验，建造了载人浮标FLIP，为此类工作提供所需的稳定平台。这艘355英尺长、重600吨的浮标被拖曳到水平位置，并在吃水300英尺的垂直位置运行，其电子实验室位于水线上方约30英尺。描述了其开发、稳定性和操作特性，包括独特的翻转操作。
A stable platform from which to perform experiments at sea has been a long‐sought goal of sea‐going scientists. In order to perform fine‐scale experiments on fluctuations of acoustic signals in the ocean the manned buoy FLIP has been built to provide the needed stable platform for such work.The 355‐ft‐long, 600‐ton craft is towed to station in the horizontal position, and operates in the vertical position at a draft of 300 ft with its electronics laboratory about 30 ft above the water line.A description is given of its development, stability, and operating characteristics, including the unique flipping operation.
