The thing that looks so ridiculous in the photo is also a ship! Moreover, having, thanks to the reverse (or reverse) shape of the nose, many advantages compared to what we are used to seeing. Someone will say, they say, again experimental modern technologies; However, it is not. Just remember what kind of nose the Aurora, familiar from the school desk, had - it stuck out not from the bottom up, but vice versa, like, for example, the Viking Drakkars. Actually, they took it from them, after a thorough study of the technology of "nose building".
But what does it give? There are many advantages, and one of them is that the vessel does not hit the water surface, but cuts it like a knife through butter. As a result, the ship sails without “noise and dust”, without creating a bunch of splashes and saving fuel. And imagine if the weather is stormy? The benefits are obvious.
Of course, before creating such a life-size ship, they made careful calculations, built many mock-ups and small experimental ships. But there were still risks. However, after launching and the first trial voyages, Bourbon made a splash among specialists, thanks to verified and recorded operational data. Are ships with such noses now being released? Something not to be seen...
