NEW GUNBOAT.—The Tucumcari PGH-2, the United States Navy’s newest hydrofoil gunboat, during a test run near Seattle. The propellerless craft, designed and built by the Boeing Company, is powered by a water-jet propulsion system. Jets of water can be seen spouting from the system under the hull. The heart of the system is a gas turbine-driven centrifugal pump which ejects 100 tons of water a minute.
