The following is a historic photo gallery of Coast Guard icebreakers, showing some of the differing types of vessels that have seen service with the Coast Guard icebreaking fleet. We hope that you will enjoy this gallery of images of some of the largest ships that have ever served with the Coast Guard.
The distance from the top of one peak to the bottom of another is called peak-to-peak amplitude. Another way to describe peak-to-peak amplitude is to say that it is the distance between the maximum positive value and the maximum negative value of a wave. Waves and their properties:
Some small jaunts. Displacement towards the origin on the negative side of the axis is positive. Subtracting â4 from â1 gives a positive +3. The arrow points to the right so the sign is right. Going to the left should give a negative displacement even on the negative side of the origin.
