Interesting shape for the underwater portion of the hull...I wonder if that design reduces the "noise" of the hull as it slices through the water, and possibly eliminates the "pounding" of the conventional shaped bow?
It DOES resemble some of those earlier battleship hull shapes, at least in profile, from the 1890s that I've learned about from design threads here.
Wonderful looking subject, hope you continue with this work!
Cheers!
