What is the diameter of the HIGHLINE used in naval operations?

The highline used in naval operations is typically standardized to a diameter of 1 inch. This specific diameter is chosen to ensure a balance between strength and manageability, as the highline must be robust enough to handle the demands of transferring personnel and equipment between vessels at sea. A diameter of 1 inch provides sufficient tensile strength to accommodate the load requirements while still allowing for ease of handling by sailors. This makes it a practical choice for the dynamic and often challenging conditions present during naval operations. Having a standardized size also facilitates interoperability between ships and ensures that equipment and fittings used with the highline are compatible across different vessels.
