The Ulstein X-Bow (or just X-BOW) is an inverted ship's bow designed by Ulstein Group to improve handling in rough seas, and to lower fuel consumption by causing less hydrodynamic drag. [1] It is shaped somewhat like a submarine's bow. [2] Bourbon Orca anchor tug, shown in 2012, was the first ship built with an Ulstein X-Bow in 2006.
Contrary Warriors Society (Hohnóhkao'o), [3] also known as the Inverted Bow-string Society. Its members, the Contrary Warriors, have proved their bravery by riding backward into battle. [9] Contrary Society (sing. Hohnohka, pl. Hohnóhkao'o), also known as Clown Society. [8]

The ULSTEIN X-BOW, an inverted bow, [15] introduces the gentle displacer, ship's bow a tapered fore ship shape with a different volume distribution as well as sectional angles, resulting in a wave piercing effect at small wave heights, and also reduces pitching and bow impact loads in bigger seas.
The Whitehall rowboat was the first boat to be constructed in an inverted-hull set-up to speed up the manufacturing process.. The hull shape is characterized by a nearly straight stem, and slight flare to the bow, rounded sides, with a keel running the entire length of the bottom and a distinctive wine glass transom with a full skeg.
HMS Dreadnought, with an inverted bow. The seaworthy bow of a Severn class lifeboat in Poole. A heavily laden barge in France. Note the bluff bow and the limited freeboard. Flared bow of a cruise ship. A ship's bow should be designed to enable the hull to pass efficiently through the water.
Technically, it's impressive: Because of her "ax bow," the boat barely makes a splash in the front when it's speeding along at 24 knots. And it's different in a way few yachts are. So even though I still think it's a monster, A gets a tip of the hat for taking a risk and being different".
A wave-piercing boat hull has a very fine bow, with reduced buoyancy in the forward portions. When a wave is encountered, the lack of buoyancy means the hull pierces through the water rather than riding over the top, resulting in a smoother ride than traditional designs, and in diminished mechanical stress on the vessel.
