Regarding nature design v. man made:
Design in nature will always exceed man made.
Marlins, dolfins, whales, utilize impulse power through the shape of their body in reaction to the surrounding currents of seawater and flex and torque their body to maximize or optimize how they propel through the water. Just look at Michael Phelps body in a dive underwater to see him flex his body for stretching into the front of opponents to see what I'm talking about.
Perhaps in the future not only will nuclear powered vessels be the standard but ships hulls that are able to shape shift with a complex control processors that takes into account every minute fluctuations in the currents and makes instantaneous reactions to the shape-shifting hull will come about.
