I would say, with my rudimentary knowledge of physics that the bigger the boat the greater the flow noise at speed. Of course, the shape of the front can help a bit, but if you make it too sharp then you run the risk of cavitation and loss of stability IIRC.

The Oscars are good boats, built primarily to knock out US carrier fleets by spamming ASMs. They're an ASuW boat for certain, not an ASW, but as Kap says, that's not to say they don't have teeth, but I'd much rather tangle with an Oscar than a late model Akula.
