Have you ever seen a bulge on the bottom of a ship? The bulge is called a bulbous bow, and this design is not only aesthetic, but also designed for efficiency. The bulbous bow creates its own waves as the ship moves. These waves are intentionally designed to meet the waves from the bow of the ship. This is important because smaller waves mean less water resistance. Therefore, the ship needs less engine power to move at the same speed. This saves fuel.
