Yawing is angular motion of the vessel about what axis?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Vertical.
Yawing is the angular motion of a vessel about its vertical axis. This means the vessel is rotating or swinging left to right around an imaginary line running vertically through the center of the vessel. The other axes - centerline (longitudinal), transverse, and vertical - do not accurately describe the motion of yawing. Yawing is a specific type of rotational motion that occurs around the vertical axis of the vessel.
