The United States Navy hydrofoil patrol gunboat Tucumcari (1967) under way in the Solent.
A starboard side view, taken from well abaft the beam, of the United States Navy hydrofoil patrol gunboat Tucumcari (1967) under way in the Solent. She is fully foil-borne and her hull number is PGH2. The port side of her transom is out of the picture. The Tucumcari (1967) is on a round-Europe demonstration deployment supported by the tank landing ship Wood County (1957) which lasted from 5 April 1971 when they arrived at Copenhagen to 1 October 1971 when they sailed from the Mediterranean. The photographer is in a motor boat manned by United States Navy seamen.
