| x Teardrop hull |
|
A teardrop hull is a submarine hull design which emphasizes hydrodynamic flow above all other factors. Benefits over previous types include increased underwater speed and a smaller acoustic signature, making detection by sonar more difficult....
|
| x Tunnel hull |
A tunnel hull is a type of boat hull that uses two typically planing hulls with a solid center that traps air. This entrapment then creates aerodynamic lift in addition to the planing lift from the hulls. Many times this is attributed to ground...

| x Padded V-hull |
A padded v-hull is a type of high performance watercraft.
They can come in many different configurations from that of a pure race boat to that of a recreational craft. A padded v-hull is very similar in basic shape to the popular v-hull which simply...

| x Double hull |
|
A double hull is a ship hull design and construction method where the bottom and sides of the ship have two complete layers of watertight hull surface: one outer layer forming the normal hull of the ship, and a second inner hull which is somewhat...

| x Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull |
|
SWATH is an acronym - the letters stand for Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull. It is a twin-hull ship design that minimizes hull cross section area at the sea's surface. By minimizing the ship's volume near the surface area of the sea, where wave...

| x Cathedral hull |
A cathedral hull is a hull shape used in modern boats, usually power-driven. It can be thought of as a kind of vestigial trimaran in which the center hull has two smaller side hulls which are so close to the main hull that there is no longer any...

| x Submarine hull |
|
The term light hull is used to describe the outer hull of a submarine, which houses the pressure hull, providing hydrodynamically efficient shape, but not holding pressure difference. The term pressure hull is used to describe the inner hull of a...
|
| x V-hull |
A V-hull, is a shape of a boat or ship which the shape of the hull comes to a straight line to the keel. V-hull designs are usually used in smaller boats and are useful in providing space for ballast inside the boat.

| x Smooth curve hull |
Smooth curve hulls are hulls that are rounded and don't usually have any chines or corners. They can be moulded, round-bilged or soft-chined. Examples are the round bilge, semi-round bilge and s-bottom hull.
