Whale energetics studies suggest that a whale swimming below the surface is using 5 times less energy for locomotion than swimming on the surface. In fact waves do epic oceanic voyages mostly because wandering worldwide or staying on the same spot would cook down to almost the same energy needs. Thi...

Mother Nature never developed a long distance surface swimming animal - all animals swim below the surface or fly in the air, they avoid the violent layer where athmosphere and ocean has this violent interchange called waves, the water surface is a biological desert - even whales which started as a...

The Draupner New Year Event made clear that steep breaking waves of 25m size do occur in open ocean with a frequency of about 4 times a year in almost any location. What was considered a seamen legend before is now documented. Many structures are designed for a much modest design wave height. Their su...

A ship is not a independent unit - it is part of a worldwide infrastructure of load terminals ship repair facilities, harbor installations, - So if you would build a cargo submarine to avoid waves and take advantage of the lower drag below the waves the complication of load / unload operations would ea...
