Which feature is included on the crew life vest to aid in locating someone in water?

Explanation:
When someone is in the water, being seen quickly is the top priority. A water-activated locator light is built into the vest and automatically turns on when it contacts water, emitting a bright beacon that rescuers can spot even in darkness or rough conditions. This direct, immediate signaling is the most reliable way to aid locating the wearer in the water. Reflective tape helps in daylight but isn’t as effective at night; a solar-powered beacon depends on sunlight and may not work reliably in cloudy or nighttime conditions; a built-in GPS beacon would provide location data but isn’t a standard feature on crew life vests and adds cost and complexity. The water-activated locator light is designed specifically for rapid visual signaling in water emergencies.
