During my time in the US Navy, early 1980s, two classes of ships were considered the most desired to serve on, the Iowa class battleships and the PHM Pegasus class hydrofoils. Very different ships. While serving on my ASW Frigate, cruising in the Caribbean, we saw one of the PHMs strutting her stuff. Very impressive performance!

Oh man, I was driving along the Columbia river one time, and stopped to see the half scrapped hull of Plainview. I was perplexed with the hydraulic cylinders on the aft portion that seemed to push something into the water. After finding out what the AGEH-1 Plainview actually was, I was happy to have been someone to actually see what was left of it. What a cool piece of history.

Sometimes I wonder how it would have felt to be an engineer in the 50s and 60s, a real golden era of mechanics and technology!

@@DrWhom - “shame about the bad grammar” And misleading terminology. I was disappointed to see the creator to resort to sort of sensationalism by calling the way these ships move on water "flying". The central part of "flying" is to not be in contact with the planetary surface (ground or water). That's not the case with these ships, so they are definitely not flying. The creator must have known that, or at least should have checked before using the word. Quite a few people are now unavoidably confused about the meaning of “flying” because of the creator’s bad choice. It would have been OK to talk about “flying” in a way that conveys it’s not a proper term, for example by saying something like “the movement resembles how a winged aircraft flies”. On the good side are the excellent original graphics. Sounds funny, but they make my eyes feel physically good. I also appreciate the fact that the archived video material is presented in a very high quality, unlike on typical cheap productions available on KZread.

The gun was able to fire either the Shillelagh missile, or a conventional high explosive projectile. I believe it wasn't a success because when fired the recoil was so heavy. It caused the hydrofoils to fail. It would cause the ship to lose lift, making the hydrofoils useless.

Impressive simulations of craft on this page. Nicely done.

If you ever have the opportunity to get a ride on a hydrofoil don’t pass it up! It’s a blast!😬👌🏼

Seems to me that this idea would have been better suited to a small raiding vessel, like a PT boat that could run up river systems, attack in packs in open water then retreat before the enemy fleet could respond, bigger ain’t always better.

Amazing video, thanks so much!

Finally a new Mustard video! I've been waiting!

I’m surprised that hydrofoils aren’t more used today And love the content keep up the good work😁

There were several hydro foil passager boat services in the Mediterranean in the 60s-90s. There was one on the Danube river between the cities of Budapest and Vienna until only a few years ago. Rising cost of fuel made them all unprofitable!

@@outerspaceoutlander You are right! They were more common than I thought. Even here in Sweden we had a service between Sweden and Denmark for many years.

Not just a weird project, not even a weird military project, it's a weird *naval* project. Now THIS is what I like to see!

Every morning I wake up and make myself some food, and usually with nobody to talk to, I find myself watching your videos. Thanks man, keep up the hard work

Excellent Video, as always.

Foils have made a comeback in the recent years. Both in sailing and also electric boats such as the Candela.
