Well, in that environment corrosion resistance certainly has to be quite
high on the requirements list.

Out here on the Left Coast, when one wants "The Best" in antenna wire,
one goes to a Marine Hardware supplier and orders PhospherBronze
Antenna Wire. This is used on most Vessels as LF/MF/HF Antenna Wire.
It lasts, basically forever, withstands whipping, doesn't stretch,
and is corrosion resistant in almost any weather or sea condition.
It comes in various sizes from #12 (7/12) on up to Ought (O) depending
on your antenna current and rigging. Standard NecoPress and Splitbolt
Hardware in PhosherBronze is available to facilitate rigging. I think
if you look on just about ANY Military Vessel, if it has wire antennas
they will be spec'd as PhospherBronze. It isn't cheap, but it is
"The Best".....
