	Pegasus class hydrofoil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pegasus class hydrofoils were a series of fast attack patrol boats employed by the U.S. Navy.
		Pegasus ships were well armed for their size, carrying two four-rack RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles and an Oto Melara 76 mm gun.
		As Pegasus was constructed several years before the rest of the series, there are some slight differences, such as the fire-control system.

	History of the USS Pegasus
		Pegasus was a shy horse who couldn't be tamed by ordinary mortals.
		The Pegasus first few missions took her to the edge of Klingon space where the crew learned more about the feared warrior species, and even conducting joint missions with future Federation members, the Vulcans and Andorians.
		The Pegasus was repaired and fought in the last two major engagements of the war, including the Battle of Cheron.

		The term "hydrofoil" is also used to refer to the foil itself, especially when the airfoil profile has been specifically designed for use in water (such as for a propeller blade).
		Hydrofoils are regularly operated on the three major Italian Lakes by branches of Ministry Of Transportation: Navigazione Lago Maggiore services routes on the Lake Maggiore between Locarno and Arona, Navigazione Lago di Como services routes on the Lake Como and Navigazione Lago di Garda services routes on the Lake Garda.
		Former Russian hydrofoils are used in southern Italy for connection with islands of Lazio and Campania.

	What is a Hydrofoil?
		A hydrofoil, not to be confused with a hovercraft, is a waterborne vessel that uses underwater wings to generate lift in the same way that a plane uses wings to generate lift in air.
		Interestingly enough, this hydrofoil was built by telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell in 1908, after he became interested in hydrofoils.
		Pegasus class hydrofoils served in the U.S. Navy between 1977 and 1993, where they were used to suppress the trade of narcotics.

		Because of its fully submerged foils, the Hydrofoil is capable of sustained high-speed runs across heavy seas, with a maneuverability of a 76mm gun, missiles, and chaff for radar deflection.
		Your Hydrofoil is represented by a flashing 'blip' in the center of the display.

	The PHM 1 PEGASUS Class
		The project called for a cost-effective hydrofoil boat designed to operate in coastal waters and equipped to fulfill the missions of destroyers and frigates in those areas so that these larger ships could be deployed to areas where they are needed more.
		During the initial phase of the project it was planned to build up to 100 hydrofoil boats for the NATO navies.
		The increasing costs of the PHM project finally resulted in the completion of only one PHM, the USS PEGASUS, although the construction of this ship had to be stopped for a while in 1974 due to the lack of money.

	Hydrofoil Articles in Popular Magazines
		Forlanini patented his hydrofoil under the descriptive name of "appareccio idrovolante." The article quotes Scientific American as saying, "After six years of experimenting, Forlanini can how consider that he has arrived at fully satisfactory and definite results." The weight of the successful craft, including two passengers, is cited as two tons.
		Hydrofoils will use as highways the waterways which lap the shores of most of the biggest American cities and their suburbs.
		The hydrofoil should be far enough ahead of the center of gravity that its force vector lies ahead of the C.G. and exerts a slight nose-up couple.

		Boeing added hydrofoils to lift the hull out of the water for reduced drag at high speed - flying on the surface of the ocean.
		One of the biggest problems with a military hydrofoil is having your low-tech adversary start dropping logs and other solid floating objects into the water for that relatively thin foil to strike at 48 knots.
		USS Pegasus was commissioned in 1977 and would operate alone for several years before Boeing was given the green light for five more Pegasus-class hydrofoils that were commissioned in 1981-82.

		Both the Pegasus (which were decommissioned in the 1990s) and Cyclone patrol boats are capable of performing the same duties as would the CHARC, in addition to performing greater missions such as costal presence patrols, special operations support, drug interdiction, and search and rescue missions.
		While their size precludes them from being realistically transported aboard a host vessel, they are capable of transoceanic operations when accompanied by an under-way tender.

		Though, FAC such as the Pegasus have several very specific drawbacks and advantages, so we really have to define what exactly "anti-pirate" missions look like, so we can decide whether a (hydrofoil) FAC or something different would be the right choice.
		My posting of information about the Skjold class was not intented to propagate them as good anti-piracy platforms, but neither do I see why they should be unusable in that role if used as a rapid reaction asset considering their speed, surveillance capabilities and rapid firing 76 mm guns.
