The first is that while most ships are designed to be stiff enough to minimize deflection from large waves, a segmented design with short, hinged segments would be designed to bend with the wave motion.
Though the normal sequence of ship design calls for attention to hull performance and powering, as an architect I took the approach of addressing the function and concept, with the understanding that the hull could be analyzed later in a feedback loop that might call for revisions in the design.
This particular bow design does not have a bulbous bow, considering that the gaps occurring where the hinges will be placed may negate the positive effects a bulb would produce.

Differences in striking ship bow stiffness, draft, bow height and shape have an important influence on the allocation of absorbed energy between striking and struck ships.
The bow collision process is simulated by developing a striking ship bow model that uses Pedersen's super-element approach and the explicit non-linear FE code LS-DYNA.
A simplified bow model is proposed which approximates the results predicted by the three collision models, closed-form, conventional and intersection elements, to a reasonable degree of accuracy.

 Wake Patterns, an article by Donald C. Simon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
This wave pattern moves seemingly locked to the ship creating it and it is a very significant, and at high speed it is the dominant, portion of the ship's resistance.
Note that a line originating at the bow, heading aft, and at an angle of 19.5 degrees (20 degrees is fine for modeling) to the ship's centerline, defines the intersection of all divergent and transverse wave crests.
The length of the transverse waves (crest to crest) is proportional to the square of the ship's speed.
