Surface ship having improved speed and maneuverability

摘要

The surface ship has a hull comprised of a deck, a bottom, a starboard side and a port side, between the deck and the bottom. The hull has a bow section, a stern section, and a mid-body section between the bow and stern sections.PPEach side of the ship has an outwardly protruding top hull and an outwardly-protruding bottom hull. The top and bottom hulls form an open-ended channel therebetween extending throughout the full length of the ship. The side walls of the channel are formed by a flat surface portion in the ship's mid-body section, and by a complex surface in the ship's bow and stern sections. Each complex surface is formed by flat, cylindrical and conical surfaces.
