new destroyer goes for sea trials

The hull design is called a "Tumblehome Hull" and is quite controversial. The hull pitches inward rather than outward like on a typical flared hull. The Tumblehome hull was used 100 years on ships but was prone to making the ship unstable in rough seas, especially following seas. Instead of displacing water away from the ship, it displaces water up *on* to the ship. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-s3S3F8Mao |

Is there a practical reason? Stealth mode while sailing backwards? |
