A wave-piercing boat hull has a very fine bow, with reduced buoyancy in the forward portions. When a wave is encountered, the lack of buoyancy means the hull pierces through the water rather than riding over the top - resulting in a smoother ride than traditional designs, and in diminished mechanical stress on the vessel and crew. It also reduces a boat's wave-making resistance. Design theory calls for very long thin hulls, so in practice most are multi-hulls such as catamarans. The main current usage areas are passenger ferries and naval ships . The reduced buoyancy can be a problem in rough sea, because the ship is not lifted above the wave as much. ==See also== * Axe bow * Inverted bow * HSV-2 Swift * HMAS Jervis Bay (AKR-45) * Zumwalt class destroyer * Earthrace, later renamed MY ''Ady Gil'' * Incat, a pioneer of the design * USA 17: a boat that raced in the America's Cup * USS Independence (LCS-2): high-speed trimaran warship 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wave-piercing hull」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
