What is "v-hull"

The V-hull is a type of vehicle armor design used on wheeled armored personnel carriers (APC), infantry mobility vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles (IFV). The design originated in the 1970s with vehicles such as the Leopard security vehicle used in the Rhodesian Bush War and South African armored vehicle company Land Systems OMC's Ratel IFV and Buffel.

A V-hull, is the shape of a boat or ship in which the contours of the hull come in a straight line to the keel. V-hull designs are usually used in smaller boats and are useful in providing space for ballast inside the boat.
