Land mine protection was provided by the V-shaped hull underneath these compartments, which quite effectively deflected the blast.

The main boat had a V-shaped hull and four engines, making it capable of traveling up to 50 miles per hour, coast guard investigators said.

The main improvement was the addition of a V-shaped hull, increasing the protection offered.

The third generation saw the advance of V-shaped hulls in an attempt to better protect soldiers from blast waves.

A V-shaped hull tends to ease traveling straight (track), but makes turning harder.

V-shaped hulls also have the greatest secondary stability.

As a result, they achieved stability created by the V-shaped hull, the long keel, and the heavy ballast.

This is because it causes the boat to travel on the water, instead of through it, as a boat with a rounded or V-shaped hull would.

Most of Johnson's limited experience has been in boats with V-shaped hulls.

It uses a V-shaped hull of steel and monocoque construction to direct the force of the blast away from the occupants.
