The paper primarily includes comparative performance analyses (i.e. changes/improvements in Resistance & Seakeeping characteristics) of a warship monohull (with a conventional bow), operating in displacement mode, when modified to various inverted bow forms. The work presented in the paper has been inspired by various research works already published worldwide and available literature regarding the same. For the research problem, a naval warship hull with conventional bow was taken as the benchmark and was suitably modified to a number of different hull form variants with inverted bow forms (i.e. Axe bow, Uistein X-bow, Sword bow and typical Inverted Bow forms), preserving sufficient characteristics for a meaningful comparison, yet making enough changes in various hull form parameters to obtain sufficient variations in hydrodynamic characteristics. Based on the analyses, it was possible to undertake multistage screening of the hull variants, as well as to obtain a considerable overview which enabled to make definitive comments regarding the research questions formulated.
