Summary

[edit]
Description The U.S. Navy hydrofoil USS Pegasus (PHM-1), circa 1975. Pegasus was launched on 9 November 1974 and commissioned on 9 July 1977. The PHM project was started in early 1970 by the Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo Zumwalt in an effort to increase the U.S. Navy's number of surface combatants. Following the retirement of Admiral Zumwalt the Navy cut down the funds for the PHM project because due to the lack of money one decided to use the money for larger fleet units instead. The increasing costs of the PHM project finally resulted in the completion of only one PHM, the Pegasus, although the construction of this ship had to be stopped for a while in 1974 due to the lack of money. At that time, the ship was only 20% completed.
