The type of buoy indicated by the letter D depends on the specific characteristics and context shown in your reference, which you haven't provided. However, I can describe these types of buoys for you:
Nun Buoy (A): This type of buoy is conical and typically red in color with even numbers. It marks the right side of the channel when returning from the sea (red, right, returning).
Can Buoy (B): This buoy is cylindrical and typically green with odd numbers. It marks the left side of the channel when returning from the sea.
Spar Buoy (C): This is a tall, thin buoy that is anchored vertically in the water. It can be used for various purposes, including marking channels and special areas.
Pillar Buoy (D): This buoy has a tall body that may be shaped like a pillar or tower and equipped with lights or other navigational aids. It can serve as a hazard marker, safe water marker, or other types of markers as needed.
Without the specific visual reference, it's difficult to provide a definitive answer. Could you provide more context or a description of the buoy marked by "D"?
