Immediately after water entry, the lifeboat will do which of the following?

Immediately after water entry, the lifeboat is designed to be buoyant and ready to operate. The hull and flotation components provide instant buoyancy, so it does not sink. Once afloat, the crew can start propulsion or begin rowing, giving the lifeboat forward movement right away. While wind and waves can influence direction, the craft is intended to move forward rather than hover in place, drift backward, or remain stationary.
