Many container ships and tankers and suchlike are completely vertical, in
fact when one looks down they look like rectangles with bows and sterns
tacked on, it's not till well under the water line that you get curving
inward to the keel.
But what I was referring to was the very front part of the bow. Because MOST
of the ship is a big rectangular box, the bow is a somewhat fast curving
thing (like a hershey's kiss on its side, cut in half, and tacked onto the
front of the box). Not sure I see how this works there unless you're at a
really large scale.
(military is cool, yes, but I like container ships, especially panamax and
bigger...)
