As the ship increases speed she sinks bodily in the water, and then, at the critical speed she squats. During this phenomenon:
The bow begins to rise and the stern begins to sink.
As the first crest of the bow wave system moves aft from the bow with increase of speed, the bow begins to be buoyed up by its own wave, and so the bow rises
The stern sinks into the hollow created as the first trough of the bow wave system coincided with and augments the stern system hollow near the screws.
The ships resistance increases abruptly.
