  In the low-speed limit, a blunt ship modeled as two-dimensional semi-infinite
body with a single corner can never be made waveless. This was the conclusion
of the previous part of our work in Trinh et al. (2011), which focused on the
Dagan & Tulin (1972) model of ship waves in the low speed limit. In this
accompanying paper, we continue our investigations with the study of more
general, piecewise-linear, or multi-cornered ships. The low-speed or low-Froude
limit, coupled with techniques in exponential asymptotics allows us to derive
explicit formulae relating the geometry of the hull to the form of the waves.
Configurations with closely spaced corners present a non-trivial extension of
the theory, and we present the general methodology for their study. Lastly,
numerical computations of the nonlinear ship-wave problem are presented in
order to confirm the analytical predictions.
