"Time to ban the bulbous bow..."

Is joke, yes? The bulbous bow is a major advance in improving the efficiency of large ships, resulting in tremendous fuel and cost savings.

The problem is with the carbon based life forms manning the vessels, not their designs or configurations.

Is joke yes. Helps cut through the water but sure causes big time damage to US destroyers. Maybe our destroyers should try getting out of the way. Hmmmm. Go aground or get rammed.
