Model Tests on a Modified 'Wind' Class Icebreaker for the United States Coast Guard. II
In these tests the craft was run into ice fields of progressively increased thickness until the condition was found in which forward progress was only just possible without resort to charging the ice edge from some distance off. As requested in the contract, the choice of limiting speed at which the...
