I'm just trying to stay within the perimeters of ship bucket law as much as possible.

the flat bottom of an will not offer protection against under-hull- detonation. on the contrary, this will trap the shock wave underneath. also, in the way of strenght, an box is always weaker then an curved surface. I can understand an waterline section for the sake of armour for an battleship, but I cannot understand why the cross section of the ship would also be boxed and flat. maybe easier to produce, but it would need a lot more material to strenghten it and by that will archieve the contrary (as welding and placing parts takes more time then steel cutting and bending, especially in these days.)
