Which consequence results when a ship’s hull exceeds wave-making speed?

A)Increased wave drag on hull
B)Reduced likelihood of broaching
C)Improved fuel consumption
D)Decreased structural stress

💡 Explanation

Wave-making speed causes increased interaction with its own bow wave via constructive interference, therefore the increased wave drag results, rather than decreased resistance, because more energy transfers into wave formation.
