The X-bow concept is going from strength to strength.
Its a form of bow shape that is superior to others especially in rough weather as it allows the vessel to go through the waves instead of 'slamming' into them using a flared bow.

At the moment the ships built have been limited to replenishment ships in the North Sea, but, a container ship is on the stocks.
One wonders if this design will be taken up by cruise ships and warships. Can you imaging a carrier with this bow and a ramp attached?
