ARLINGTON, Va. (NNS) -- The U.S. Navy took delivery of its newest experimental ship, Sea Fighter (FSF 1), at Naval Station Everett, Wash., in July. The Navy's fastest ship, Sea Fighter will operate at greater than 50 knots and has a range of approximately 4,000 nautical miles. The ship will move to San Diego and continue experimentation while assigned to Commander, Naval Surface Forces and Commander, U.S. 3rd Fleet.
The Tucumcari was one of two prototype boats contracted by the Navy for the purpose of evaluating hydrofoil technology with a top speed of 50 knots. The model led to construction of the Pegasus-class patrol boats, which have been dubbed the fastest vessels in the U.S. Navy. The lead ship, USS Pegasus, was launched in November 1974 and commissioned in 1977. The Navy went on to build a total of six Pegasus boats, which were in service until they were decommissioned in 1993. USS Pegasus (PHM-1).
