ABSTRACT:
A ship hull comprises at least one longitudinally directed displacement body which is symmetric to the longitudinal axis of the ship and which is adjoined by gliding surfaces at least at both longitudinal sides or, as the case may be, on all sides, being provided at the underside of the hull. The quantity of water displaced by the displacement body substantially corresponds, with respect to weight, to the total weight of the ship, so that the gliding surface lies substantially horizontally and on or in the vicinity of the surface of the water. The gliding surfaces are constructed in a wave-shaped manner in the longitudinal direction and, as the case may be, also in the transverse direction of the ship hull, wherein the wave shape of the gliding surfaces is displaced by approximately 180.degree. relative to the natural waves generated by the displacement body, so that the natural waves are virtually canceled during travel through the water.
