From the understanding of resistance it is possible for us to draw some guidelines as to how
we can develop a hull form, or what are the parameters of hull form that can be controlled to
give better resistance characteristics at a design stage, because once the design is over the hull
form is fixed- if the resistance characteristics are not good, the ship will suffer for its entire
life. So, we will see some main parameters of the hull form and how it affects resistance?
This should be fairly general analysis of relationship of hull form to resistance.
