And similarly, if I have a bulbous bow, let me assume there is a bulbous bow, there will be
area forward of the fore perpendicular and it will become zero at the end of bulbous bow,
because remember the ship- if this is the FP- the ship’s water line and FP will coincide at
loaded line and if there is a bulbous bow, it will go like this, so sectional area curve below the
(( )) will end at the end of the bulb. So, this end comes here and if I draw this curve, it will
look something like this, if I draw the sections and join them by means of a curve, this is how
I will get it. Now, this gives me the distribution of sectional area over the length of the ship.
