These hydrofoils carried the designation PHM" for "Patrol, Hydrofoil, Missile. " The Pegasus class vessels were originally intended for NATO operations in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. Subsequently, participation by other NATO navies, including Germany and Italy, ceased and the U. S. Navy proceeded to procure six PHMs, which were highly successful in conducting coastal operations, such as narcoticsinterdiction and coastal patrol, in the Caribbean basin."
