A cavitation load-reduction device for an underwater vehicle has adjustable water-entry angles. It contains a cavitator disposed at a head end of an underwater vehicle, a front end of the cavitator being detachably connected to a head fairing device that is coaxially arranged with the cavitator. The head fairing device comprises a head fairing, a plurality of notches are arranged in a rear end of a side wall of the head fairing around an axis of the head fairing, fairing tiles hinged to the notches are arranged at the notches, and the fairing tiles are matched with the notches. Each fairing tile retractable arm is separately hinged to the fairing tile and the cavitator, and the fairing tile retractable arms are used to drive the fairing tiles to rotate around a hinge point of the fairing tiles and the head fairing.
