DESIGNER’S NOTES

2. The Mk58 marine marker is replicated for this mission by Mk20 Rockeye, which should be dropped in manual mode

 

The Mk58 It's a flare that produce a flame and smoke, so in the briefing smoke is intended as smoke (smoke signal):

 

Some info you can find on the net:

When the marker is launched, the battery cavity hold is exposed by removal of tape. Seawater enters the cavity and serves as an electrolyte to activate the battery. The battery current initiates an electric squib, which in turn ignites the pyrotechnic candle.

Features:

• Deployable from Aircraft & Ships or Small Boats
• Optional Suspension Bands and Foam Ejector Spacers
• Improved Sealing during and after Deployment

MARINE MARKER – MARK 58 Description

The Marine Marker, Mark 58 (Mk 58) is used for all types of air-to-sea surface marking that use smoke and flame. The Mk 58 can be launched day or night from high-speed aircraft, helicopters or surface ships to provide a long-burning, smoke and flame reference-point on the ocean’s surface. It is used for various operations including anti-submarine warfare (ASW), marking a survivor in the water during search and rescue (SAR) operations, man-overboard markings and as a target for practice bombing at sea.

The Mk 58 consists of a water-activated battery, starter mix and two pyrotechnic candles of a red phosphorus composition. The marker is activated when water enters the battery port and the starter mix is ignited. The starter mix then lights the first pyrotechnic candle, which burns for 20 minutes, then initiates the second candle. The complete marker produces a continuous yellow flame and white smoke for a total of 40-60 minutes for at least 4.5-5.0 km under normal operating conditions.

I know guys there is a lot of technical lingo in there. A lot is explained in the readme file, some aren't - but I usually do this on purpose, as a kind of a homework for players. Apologies for that, can't help it  but on the bright side, that way you will learn much more than just simply reading the definition in the brief!
