Navy hydrofoil USS Tucumcari (PGH-2) after being lost due to a grounding incident (hitting a reef at 40 knots will do that) in 1972, was transferred to the Naval Ship and Research Development Center in Annapolis for structural and fire containment testing. She was struck from the Naval Register and finally scrapped in 1973.
The information gained from her short period afloat yielded critical information that led to the development improvements of the following Pegasus-class hydrofoils.
