This is a motion of a ship or airplane experienced when
pivoting about the vertical axis of the hull (in a ship), or fuselage
(in an airplane). While ships motions in the longitudinal and
transverse axis (rolling and pitching) are easily discernible, yaw
is sometimes less noticeable.

Yaw is often less evident than roll and

the SWATH vessel below.
