There's a lot of hull below that water line - it may be flat bottomed,
but most "ships" are really - not built for speed, but endurance and
long range efficiency.

Container ships are built for speed. Tankers are not.

Aircraft carriers and gator freighters have flat bottoms. Acres and acres
and acres of flat bottom. Makes it a bitch to find a particular spot on the
hull and in murky water with the light diffussed it's easy to get
disoriented.

Virtually all ships have flat bottoms, tens of thousands of them, of
all types and sizes.

Don't think so. Although I'm not an expert on hull shapes, I think
the most common is called round bilge.
Don't know the actual shape of the time bandit, but from the clip I
got the impression it's not common for the crab boats.
It was made with shallow water in mind, but is used in the deep.
Not as maneuverable as other hull types.
