As discussed on this site before, some ships have been retrofitted with a bulbous (sp?) bow device to reduce drag.

Don, Yep it has been done and in a cargo ship as well.
Can't recall the name but it was in the heyday of nuclear power (well before 3 mile island , Chrenobyl etc.).
The bow bulb is claimed to help by around 7% depending on the design details.
Worth having I would have said.
Cheers , Pete.
