How will that bow....behave, in heavy, rough, seas though? I can't help but thinking that she'll "disappear" in the waves....
Stealth and guile has been a thing since states had armies and Napoleon hid his, up his sleevies.Stealth, even before stealth was a thing!
The theory of the bow design coupled with the hull design, the hull slopes inwards from the waterline, is that it cuts through waves, up to a limit of course.How will that bow....behave, in heavy, rough, seas though? I can't help but thinking that she'll "disappear" in the waves....

I don't believe so but most oceans aren't like the north sea. I used to drink in a bar in Mulheim Germany owned by a guy who took part in the Americas Cup sailing competition, he had photos all over the bar. He used to talk about boats operating in two mediums and the challenges it presented. Sometimes the Americas cup is sailed on almost flat calm with almost no wind but at others it is windy and choppy, the hull and sails must cope with both. It was interesting stuff.Does this mean then, that she's a beautiful weather, calm waters, ship?
