True.
Streamlining reduces aerodynamic/hydrodynamic drag (especially pressure/form drag from flow separation and turbulence), so for the same power the vehicle can go faster. (Note: "friction" is often used loosely here — streamlining primarily reduces pressure drag, though it can also affect skin friction.)
