Bulb designs for large ships often incorporate a bow thruster or sonar dome. Putting the bow thruster forward as much as possible increases the steering leverage. A watertight hatch gives access to the interior of the bulb. With a bulb, you will need a bowsprit for the anchor, or hawseholes port and starboard, to avoid scraping the bulb with the anchor chain.
